Printing PDF Patterns

I am delighted to be able to download out-of-print patterns. This week I made Tea Party Sundresses for my twin toddler granddaughters and cut out Bubble Dresses for them. Then I realized my printer had scaled the patterns down by 88%. Since I’ve never had a problem printing PDFs before I didn’t bother to check beforehand – my fault. Here’s the problem: the PDF’s paper size is set at 8.75 x 11.25 instead of 8.5 x 11. My printer refuses to print the patterns any larger than 91%. Why the odd paper size? How can I print accurate patterns?
