When I print with Acrobat Reader my printer properties always show the page size as US Letter, but everywhere else (Openoffice, Firefox, Lyx, Maple ) it is set to A4. If I change it to A4, it reverts to US letter the next time I open Acrobat Reader. If I look at the properties of the installed printer with the KDE printer manager it is set to A4. Reader is the only programme that defaults to US Letter.

I've tried help pages, the FAQ pages, searched this forum but still no luck.

How can I change it permanently?

(I'm using Open SuSE 10.1, KDE desktop and Acrobat Reader 7.0.8 )

Cheers
Ian
