I’ve got the 9.0 read only version on a Dell laptop w/ Windows NT.

I don’t remember this happening with previous versions, but I could be mistaken. The problem I’m having is cutting and pasting from Adobe Acrobat into other programs. Seems like I need to set the scale to about 85% in order for the pasted content to appear at 100% scale in the other program. Doesn’t matter what program I’m using, it’s the same offset to the scaling.

Any idea why this happens?
