Sounds like it's your computer. :) PDF is designed
specifically so ANY computer can get the same document
and have it look and act the same.  Converting
documents to HTML for web use is not 100% accurate
when printed (there are things you can do to make it
better, but there will always be issues with the
browser & printer changing things).  However, as a web
programmer, my first choice is to create an HTML
version that everyone can read & print if they want,
plus a PDF version since it will be consistent across
the board.  And always always have a link to the PDF
reader when PDFs are supplied. :)
