A librarian has suggested to me that we should set the scaling in the PDF to stop Acrobat Reader and some other readers from making a mess of the carefully-measured offsets and margins. I didn't see any way in PDF::Reuse to do that - is it possible? I wondered if it's some Acrobat extension to PDF (sigh) or something like that.

Heya, Have you checked the librarian's PDF-viewer setup first?? I have a vague memory of being able to set a default view (or similar) in PDF::Reuse. But, i found acrobat (at least) does overide the document's default. In other words - the scaling mess is *probably* a badly configured PDF-viewer issue, i think. Mason.

That's my conclusion, but I'm not responsible for desktop software at that site and I don't use Acrobat if I can avoid it (because I never could stop it rescaling my printouts incorrectly) but it's useful to have someone else report that it overrides whatever is set in the PDF.
