When I run the following code and print the resulting PDF file (using Acrobat Reader
5.1) I expect to get a rectangle 4 inches wide by 5 inches high spaced 1 inch from the
bottom left margin.
Instead I get a rectangle that is about 3.75 inches wide by 4.68 inches high. Also,
the rectangle is spaced about 1.18 inches from the left margin and 1.31 inches from
the bottom margin. What is the reason for this? Is the PDF format not this accurate?
Is this an Acrobat issue? Is it an itext issue?
I would appreciate any assistance offered.
Thanks,
Michael L. Gantz
