Publish to DWF misaligned - ACAD 2008

APP: AutoCAD 2008

I've been encountering this issue for some time now, but am finally at the point where a solution must be found! So, allow for me to explain the issue:

We are plotting to 11x17 paper through a laser printer. The prints themselves look exactly as they do in the preview. The borders we have are all visible and centered on the page, as chosen in the Page Setup.

Now, when I use the exact same page setup but want to publish a dwf, the output is offset...i've printed the dwf version and the plot version to compare them...held them up to the screen like a dentist does to my crooked teeth x-rays, and measured that the dwf is 1/4" to the right and 1/8" down from the position of the plot.

This offset leads to my borders and some information being lost, if it's too close.

Funny thing is that even the previews of the plot and the dwf are offset the same fashion, yet all the settings are the same!

Why is this happening? Any insight would be most fabulous!

Just when you on plot dialog click fit and center page it will automatically printing to whole page with all borders inside your paper or in dwf files.

Well, if you read my request for help, you'll see that the setup isn't the problem...I know how to output and center my drawings...the problem is the output to dwf is jacked! The offset is mentioned in the original.

Can this be narrowed down to a 'distiller' issue? I do assume that the output driver for a dwf is obviously different than that of the one which sends the files to the printer...i'm just wondering why nobody is having this problem and there are no more replies to this issue!

Where's the love?!

Do you have Page Setups that you have made, or are you simply choosing DWF Print Driver in the Publish dialog?
