Topic: PDF document shrinkage from MS Word

When I save an MS Word doc to a pdf file for distribution, I get substantial shrinkage in the size of the fonts, a slight increase in the size of the margins, etc. All in all, the text is much smaller for my reader if I send them a pdf rather than sending them an MS Word doc printout.

I get this whether I "print" the file to the "Adobe PDF" printer driver, or whether I use the "Convert to Adobe PDF" button on the MS Word toolbar. (Software versions are Adobe Acrobat Profession v6.0.6 and MS Word 2003.)

What gives? Is there any way I can get around this?

Thanks.
