Different widths when print form Acrobat and PDF-Viewer
I have table in PDF. When I print the same in Acrobat Reader it's width is 6.5 cm and but when I print it in PDF-Viewer it's width is 7.0. What is the reason?

Hello abcplex,
Welcome to our forums.
Are you printing to a hardware device and compating the results that come out printed on paper?
If so - then please check what are the scaling options in both our Viewer and Adobe's reader at the Print window. I suspect that you might have "fit to printer margins" in Adobe, and "no scaling" selected in our Viewer - which could cause this difference.
Regards,
Stefan

Thanks for your reply. In Adobe, it's 'Shrink to Printable Area'. Can we change the editor so that in design time (for my object), it shows the same width as Adobe shows during printing time.

Hello abcplex,
This means that Adobe is actually shrinking your plots and not outputting them as intended.
You can either select the same "shrink to printable area" option in our products at print time, or simply create the sheets slightly smaller than the A4/Ansi A or any other paper you normally use - and then no shrinking will be necessary.

Stefan
