Postscript Rendering Issue

In batch, we are converting stored PDF documents into Postscript so they may be combined into a single file that may be sent to a high speed Xerox printer as an outgoing mail stream (barcoded pages for automated stuffing). This conversion is occurring using an Acrobat Reader for UNIX feature.

THE QUESTION: Has anyone encountered an issue where postscript is not consistently rendered on different printers? We have an issue where the page renders fine at the development facility on a low end Lexamrk laser printer, but it enlarges a bit when printed on the production printers. The enlargement causes the address information to not line up with the envelope properly, and text near the margins pops off the page.

The enlargement is not limited to text, but to lines as well. We have tried embedding fonts, and have ruled out everything but the printers (the .ps is lpr'ed directly to the printers).

Thanks.
