I'm having an odd problem with the way Preview is printing page margins of PDFs. The issue first came up last week when I was printing a PDF (typeset in LaTeX) report from Preview. In LaTeX I had defined 1 inch page margins on letter paper (university requirements), and the PDF looks perfect on screen. But when I print it, it comes out with 1 inch margins on the bottom and left, and ~1.6 inch margins on the top and right! Also, it seems that the document has been scaled down (same aspect ratio, smaller size) in order to fit in the smaller space.
Get Info reports the page size to be 21.59 x 27.94 cm (correct letter size). When I try to print again, I notice that the Print Preview (the small preview contained in the print dialog) actually shows that the document will be printing with wrong borders! Why is this?? I mucked around with the printer settings a bit, to no avail. I obviously couldn't submit it like that - the work-around was to fire up my XP VM (Fusion) and print it from acrobat reader 9 on the windows side. But there's gotta be a solution on the mac side!
Also, I'm thinking that it's not LaTeX - the same issue came up when I tried to print my exam timetable (a PDF that my school probably made with Acrobat and Word). One thing that comes to mind is that Apple released a brother printer driver update a month or so ago, could this be causing the problem (printer is a Brother laser, HL2070N)? It's possible that it's been doing it to everything I print, and I just haven't noticed it until now...
System is a macbook C2D 2GHz (last rev). Any help or insight is appreciated!!
