--------------------------------------------------------------
These are your printer's margins. They're always less than the size of the
paper, though one inch is very large - Java's printing API is being
over-cautious here. Our task is to print within the imageable area, not to
decided what that area is - because it varies from printer to printer.
1.8 actually overwrites the imageable area with its own size (which is wrong)
because it could cause ink to appear off the edge of the printable area. So the
behaviour in 2.0 looks to me to be correct.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2844
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Rendering
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
> Attachments: PDFBOX-2844.pdf
>
>
> Printing the attached file from PDFReader brings larger margins than
> expected, and larger than with Adobe Reader. Doing the same with 1.8 has the
> expected margins (but bad fonts).
> From Александр Свиридов / Alex Sviridov in the mailing list:
> {quote}
> I printed this pdf file with Adobe Reader in mode 100%. And as expected left
> and right margins are about 2cm. In comparison when I print using pdfbox left
> margin is 4.5cm, right about 3.5cm.
> The code I use :
> {code}
> PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
> Paper paper=new Paper();
> paper.setSize(72d*8.267d, 72d*11.692);
> PDFPrinter pDFPrinter=new PDFPrinter(document,Scaling.SCALE_TO_FIT,
> Orientation.PORTRAIT,paper);
> pDFPrinter.silentPrint(job);
> {code}
