How come my margins drop down on my documents in Word once I create a PDF of a document? It seems that the document becomes smaller once I compare it on print to the Word original.

Hi ritahanlon,

If you change the default printer for a Word document, the formatting of the document may change because Word applies page setup properties and resident fonts specific to the default printer driver.

Here is a link to a technical note that provides detailed information on the best way to convert your Word documents to PDF:
