You set your page to landscape. The right side is STILL cut off.

If you have Acrobat, so you try printing to PDF. No joy.

After you kick the printer a couple of times, you try to cut and paste the article into a Word doc. Either it’s protected and won’t let you, or you get all of the golf clubs and bubbles and Montblac ads on the page mixed into the article. You pick out the article sentence by sentence and paste it into a new doc, and print that.

Only 45 minutes later, and you’ve printed an article! You’re not embarrassed…much. Don’t let this happen to you!

Tell your IT department that it’s crucial for you to have Adobe Acrobat PRO, and that it needs to be set up so that you have its icon in Explorer. For reasons I don’t even want to contemplate, if you choose “convert web page to pdf” from this icon, it will create a perfect document, but if you choose File>Print and choose Adobe Acrobat as the printer it will make a PDF with a cut-off right edge. Obtain the icon, even if you have to bite ankles to do it.

UPDATE: MS Explorer 2007 claims to have solved this problem, so that’s another solution.
