      The document properties in Acrobat list the page as being A4 (8.27" * 11.69") - are you sure this is the case? Do you know what the actual dimensions are (which would be massively helpful! :-)?

              I could take a crap on a piece of paper and it would be easier to work with than crystal reports :P

                Grrrr - can MS not put together a designer that actually does WYSIWYG reports?! The amount of time I've wasted having to resize reports that are perfectly within the confines of an A4 page but magically get wider once they're exported to PDF, is verging on obscene!!

                Maybe try changing the Dots Per Inch (DPI) setting of your PDF printer driver?...the scaling might be happening because you're sending higher or lower resolution than the driver is set at?

                  I've managed to get it sorted though more through a 'brute force' approach of going in and reducing all the margins and spacings to as small as possible (not 0 though, since that stopped some of the reports from rendering somehow!).

                  It definitely isn't definatley

                      Depending on how you are converting the report you can specify different size margins for the PDF than the report. Calling the Render method to convert report http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa258532(SQL.80).aspx[^] Some PDF specific Device Information http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms154682.aspx[^] Passing Device information via XML or URL http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa179622(SQL.80).aspx[^] Hope this helps ease the pain...
