I am running Windows 7 x64. I print a page from my Chrome web browser using PDF24. When the page converts to PDF, the PDF file has a copy of the screen that is about 2/3 the size of the actual page leaving white space on the right and bottom of each page. Why does the PDF convert operation make the pages smaller than 1:1 conversion? Thanks for your help.

I print in Word 2010, or any browser except for Chrome (SRWare Iron) and no problems. I print in Chrome and the PDF file always prints a very small page instead of a 1:1 scaling of the displayed page(s). I tried seeing if there was any setting in Chrome I could see that affected this and Im clueless so far. Do you have any suggestion or insight why Chrome Browser is doing this? I appreciate any ideas, and know your product works great - its Chrome that is doing something to shrink the PDF scaling.

The web page is printed onto a paper with fixed dimensions. Normally margins are installed so that the printed page has top, left, right and bottom margins. You can remove the margins by setting up you page correctly. You can also modify the paper format during print process.
