Here's part 2 an old article regarding limitations when creating PDF from word processors. http://www.planetpdf.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=332 Not sure how much of it still applies in today's world, but I still keep this in mind when I need to keep PDFs looking like its word processing doc counterpart (or is it the other way around :-)...especially to avoid the repaginations. I'm not sure if it has anything do with Distiller trying to replicate the Word file as you say, but yes, instead, it's following its own set of (margin?) rules.

When I convert a page of a word file to a prn file or a post script file through acrobat distiller or through our xerox printer the resulting pdf(s) seems to have more 'white space' around it. If the pdf file is compared against the same but printed Word file the pdf files footers are about 0.6cms higher than the print version whilst the header on the pdf file is about 0.4cms lower than the print version. As we work in Word then convert to pdf to sent to our printers for print we need both versions to look exactly the same, at present there is a glaring difference in page sizes. I read somewhere in an article that when converting to pdf some calculations had to be done regarding page size and margins in order for the pdf to replicate the exact size of the Word file - is this true?? All help gratefully appreciated. Lewis. PS our Word files are standard A4 paper size with 2.5cms margins all around with 1.1cms header and footer.
