Cindy,
I had a similar problem, with a map which was set to a particular scale,
but then being changed to a different size when printing from a browser.
I solved this by setting a ViewerPreference on the PdfWriter
writer.addViewerPreference (PdfName.PRINTSCALING, PdfName.NONE);
This seems to work in both Acrobat, and the inbuilt viewer in Firefox

When run separately (outside of the browser), we get the printer
information directly from the printer and the OS.
When run inside of a browser, we are given the information from the
browser.
Sounds like the browsers are giving us incorrect information :(.

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Generated PDF differs on Windows vs Linux
After spending spending all day yesterday at the location of the client
who is having the problem, we have determined that the problem relates to
the fact that the Adobe Acrobat plug-in for Firefox (and other browsers
for Windows) seems to determine that the pages in our document are not the
appropriate size. In the case of Windows, it determines a "shrink to fit
ratio" of 95%. This makes the labels too small. If we choose the "actual
size" option, then the labels print correctly. In IText, we are
specifying a page width of 792 points or 11" and a height of 612 points or
8.5". We have a top margin of 72 pts (1"); bottom margin of 94 pts
(1.3:); left and right margins of 58 pts (.8 "). What would trigger the
Adobe reader plug-in in Firefox, Chrome and IE to determine that the page
is too large and needs to be shrunk by 5%? We also did this on a couple
of different printers. Unfortunately, on the older Canon printer (used
for printing most labels) under Firefox there is not an option to specify
the actual page size option. So the problem can only be fixed by scaling
up by 104%. This problem does not occur if we download the PDF file
created and use Adobe Reader directly. We can provide workarounds for the
problem; e.g., choose "actual size" if available or scale by 104% if not.
However, the client feels that these workarounds would be too confusing
for their average user to handle.
Is the problem that the Adobe plug-in deems that the 11X8.5 page is too
large for the printer or is the page size not actually determined by what
we specify to our IText Document object?. Any suggestions?

Please take a look at figure 2.4 in this chapter:
http://www.manning.com/lowagie2/samplechapter2.pdf
Then read the text that comes with the figure.
Does this describe the problem you're seeing?
Or are you talking about something completely different?
(Because you're not entirely clear in your question.)
