I've also confirmed the correct page size settings for both the Adobe and Brother printers in the Windows 7 "Devices and Printers" dialog box.

Find the Breaks section and drop it down using the little arrow. I tried to make this tab reappear in Word but to no avail. I’ve covered this in more detail in this article, but here’s a summary with a screenshot from Word 2013. I believe I've seen/inspected all available settings for specifying page sizes and scaling - Adobe used to offer the PDFMaker add-in for Word, which manifested itself as a Word tab called "Acrobat," and therein one could see PDF settings, but this tab has long since disappeared with a previous Acrobat update. However they both use the same Adobe PDF default settings specifying A4 paper size. It is full of features, variety and a compact companion of any person working with documents and. I should also say that over years of Adobe updates I seem to have two different Adobe products for creating PDFs both the aforementioned Distiller as well as Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended (v. Microsoft Word is undoubtedly one of the most versatile and the most popular word editor documents. I suspect there is some scaling or default page sizing going on but where/how to change it? In Word 2010 you do this via: File -> Options -> Advanced, and deselect the setting "Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11" paper sizes" in the Print section. I've solved this problem in previous versions by simply deselecting print scaling in Microsoft Word or in Distiller. It's almost as if Distiller is stubbornly scaling the document to a different page size no matter which settings are specified. I've searched the internet far and wide in order to understand why, when converting a Word 2010 document to PDF in Windows 7 (via Adobe Distiller ), the top and bottom margins of the resulting PDF file are automatically increased (thereby shrinking the content on the page somewhat) despite having uniformly and everywhere set A4 paper size in Word 2010 and Adobe default PDF settings.
