Autocad - sheets

I know there are specialist forums out there but CBA signing up.

A couple of questions.

I can set up my sheet page for my printer, it shows the print area, create the title block and view port with-in this and export to PDF, it cuts off the RHS and bottom. To set the page to any of the PDF options and again it appears to reduce the size from A4. I thought PDF would be a standard A4 page?

Is there no way to snap or make the viewport the size of the sheet?
I am wanting to export as PDF to then import into a word document, and the perfectionist in me is wanting to make sure that spacing around the view port box is symmetrical.

@Derek W in the end I just zoomed in and adjusted the viewing window to corner of page as close as I could, then brought it in by a set amount. The viewing window was set to a scale 1:10.

When using my printer as the printing option/page setup compared to a PDF file I found it odd that it was different dimensions, but now thinking about it I suppose the dimensions are the physical print space on the a4 paper while PDF would be full a4?

I'll need to go back to and try the centred check box, it's something I'd like to know how to do properly as I will need it.

I can post you done images up tomorrow if it helps?

That would be great, or even screenshots for correct settings.
I think even in the CAD class we had it was very basic of "draw inside the print window" now from the that corner make your title block.
