When I view my file as .pdf it shows the very small margins all the

appears to be 1" margins left and right and bottom, and about 2"

do to get the page to print just like the .pdf? I am using jedit/
jpedal on XP. Below is my code for this particular page.
most pdf viewers or printer dialogues have an option "scale page to
fit printer margins" or something similar. i've run into this issue
before when i've forgotten to ensure that the printer doesn't scale
the printout.
technical reasoning behind this option is that a lot of pdfs have
content all the way to the edge of the page and this content would
otherwise be cut off in the printout, so by default, the printer
driver will scale a pdf down to fit the printer margins.
So how do you get it to print properly if you DON'T want it to "shrink
to fit"? (ime, it then prints the page, full size, but offset down and
left by the printer margin!)
I've found it IMPOSSIBLE to get the pdf to print cleanly on a sheet of
paper, full size, properly centred.
