4. Issue when printing.

Sometimes a PDF is larger than a standard A4 sheet when its printed out.

It can look fine in the preview but when it is printed using the default Actual Size option, the printer cuts the edges of the court seal and the text under the seal.

5. Workaround.

In the Adobe Reader print dialog box, choose Fit to size option and then print.
