+<h3>(La)TeX PDF output prints at wrong size</h3>
+<p>Having got everything <em>else</em> right, you should be aware that the
+problem may have nothing to do with (La)TeX and everything to do
+with the program you use for printing. A regular cause for such
+problems lies with Acrobat Reader, which by default enables its option
+to scale pages to fit on the printable area of the paper. Since a
+printer can rarely print right to the edge, this means that pdf-files
+will be shrunk by some (small) factor (even if the pdf-file is
+formatted for A4, and your paper size is set to A4 as well).
+<p>Correcting this silliness is not very hard, but the exact details
+depend on the version of Acrobat Reader (or "Adobe Reader" from
+version 6.0 onwards) you have installed:
+<ul>
+<li> Mac OS X, Adobe Reader 6:<br>
+ in the print dialogue, on the "copies &amp; pages" pane, you'll find a
+ popup menu titled "Page Scaling". Make sure that the menu reads
+ "None".
+<li> Windows, Adobe Reader 6:<br>
+ in the print dialogue, select "None" from the drop-down list
+ "Page Scaling".
+<li> Windows, Linux Acrobat (Reader) 5.0:<br>
+ In the print dialog, make sure the "Shrink oversized pages to fit"
+ checkbox is unchecked. It may also be useful to uncheck the
+ "Expand small pages to fit paper size" checkbox as well.
+</ul>
