@kovidgoyal -- Thanks. After I changed the Preferences - Output - PDF, I forgot that I had to [Restore Defaults] on my test document (since I had new defaults)
I confess I completely missed this part in the manual

The first, most important, setting to decide on when converting to PDF is the page size. By default, calibre uses a page size defined by the current Output profile. So if your output profile is set to Kindle, calibre will create a PDF with page size suitable for viewing on the small kindle screen. However, if you view this PDF file on a computer screen, then it will appear to have too large fonts. To create “normal” sized PDFs, use the Override page size option under PDF Output in the conversion dialog.

To set page margins, do I have to do it on each individual document? I believe I do since the [Page Setup] and [Look and Feel] seem to be [Common Options] and not specific to a format. I was thinking of adding CSS for margins to the Extra CSS field in [Look and Feel], but again that's in [Common Options]
Q1: Would it be possible to add Margins at least to the [Output] - PDF part of Preferences since PDF is the format that is least useful to an ereader and most often intended for paper output?
Q2: Instead of selecting from the list of installed Fonts, could there be an option to use the font in the epub? I find I almost always embed a font in the epub that I find readable on the Kindle (after AZW3 conversion of course) to select Publisher Font on the Kindle?
