PDF export uses the Printout environment. So, probably, there is some variation between the sizes used for the Working and Printout environments in your modified stylesheet. Note that these modifications might not involve a different font size, but might instead involve a magnification which is set to some value other than 100%. The WRI stylesheets generally have Magnification->0.8 set on the Printout Environment, so it might be as easy as setting... Cell[StyleData[All, "Printout"], Magnification->1.] You can see what's going on interactively by setting your screen environment to Printout and examining one of the notebooks. You can do this under the Format->Screen Environment menu. Sincerely, John Fultz jfultz at wolfram.com User Interface Group Wolfram Research, Inc.
