I've certainly come across PDF files that some programs couldn't handle
in one way or another (on-screen and/or print), yet others could. You
hadn't mentioned whether all PDF files failed, or just some.
And, perhaps related, anytime I have to print a US-letter formatted page
on my A4-only printer, I go through a lot of grief. My ye olde HP
Laserjet 4, wants me to insert paper that I don't have (with a load
letter warning on its display), instead of something letting me squeeze
the page in to fit. So, is the PDF page size compatible with your
printer's paper size?
