If you are in the USA, that is true. Default print setup is Letter,
8.5 x 11 inches.
However, if you change the Paper from Letter to A4 (say), it still
leaves the page size at 8.5 x 11 inches, with the result that it
won't print. Manually change the page size to 8.27 x 11.69 inches
and you are in business again.
Since Acrobat is proprietary software, Mandrake cannot patch it (no
source) and make a mdk RPM. Only Adobe can correct this original
coding error, and until they do, they cannot expect any use of their
Linux Acrobat Reader 4 to print out documents outside the USA.
