I'm trying to convert an RTF document with 1" margins all around to PDF with 1" margins all around. My problem ends up being that I have 1" margins on the side, but I do not have 1" margins on the top or bottom. I've checked everything to make sure it works as it should, but it does not. Nothing I do makes a difference. Is there a way to fix this?

Your problem description implies that you are trying to generate a PDF that would look the same on paper as the printed RTF. If so, is there some reason that you don't use a pdf printer to do the conversion? Google finds zillions of sites with instructions.

Yes, I can do that. I know I can.
But if Calibre won't format it as I want, why is RTF an input option? I downloaded Calibre so I didn't have to wait 20 minutes for a conversion.
Edit: Bah. I totally forgot I had CutePDF installed. I will use that from now on for these types of documents. Thanks for the help, you reminded me! :)

Calibre is p0rimarily focussed on creating reflowable text formats (such as EPUB) for use in eBook reader devices, so keeping the exact look and feel of the original is a secondary consideration.
