Interesting... I actually have a licensed version of Adobe Acrobat (4.x) and decided to reset the "Brochure" option and then print the file to my Acrobat PDF printer. The file was written in the shrunken 25% format, so that seems to verify what you are stating. In any event, I hope that the thread will assist someone else that experiences the same problem in the future. Thanks for the reply & info.
