Differences between margins in print

Hi everybody!

I've got a problem with adobe reader print. 

I created a pdf with LibreOffice, just because I needed to create a PDF with editable form fields. I recreated the original, which was in A3 format, creating 4 pages in A4, reporting exactly the original margins and distances. when I try to print, both in A4 format and in booklet format on A3 paper, the margins are all shifted by about 35 mm compared to the original. How can I do it? I need the printout I made to match the original exactly.
Thanks and sorry for the bad English

Does the PDF document match your original margins? There are different options in Acrobat and Reader when you print regardign scaling.Does it make a difference which option you select? I would go with "Original Size" and see if that works.

Even if i select "original size" there is differences between the original and the print. You can see it in the screenshot attached below: the PDF document is smaller than the A4 format.

Besides the fact that this is "almost A4" (given a little bit of rounding), the wrong page size is caused by the application that created the PDF document. There is nothing that Acrobat or Reader can do about that. With Adobe Acrobat Pro, you would be able to rescale the content to proper A4. File a bug with LibreOffice and see if they can produce a correctly sized A4 page.
