Leonard, I accept that no printer can print at the very edges of the paper, but I believe that my issue is about whether the x, y co-ordinates used by PDF get measured from the very edge or not. In other words, how to arrange things so that a given point say (72, 72) would appear at exactly 1 inch in from the left paper edge and 1 inch up from the bottom paper edge, no matter what printer the print was done on.

        No, the origin (0,0) of the PDF page is the first imagable pixel on a given printer.  Whatever hardware margins exist are outside of this.

        This is true for ALL applications printing to ANY printer.  Nother PDF specific here...
