"Well, I fell sheepish!"  That was it exactly.  Thanks for the suggestion
(and sorry for my brain cramp).

Thanks,

Subject: Re: [users] Export to PDF: Reduced size

Jon,

I tried your test and was not able to replicate the results.  Both
documents printed out at the same size.  This was on Linux using OO 2.0
and Adobe Reader for Linux to open and print the pdf.  I also tested it
on WinXP Home and OO 2.0 using Adobe Reader 6.0.

Have you checked to make sure that in your pdf reader's print dialog you
do not have any options checked to shrink oversize pages?  I think in
Windows it may the scaling option and should probably be set to none.
