Printing a PDF page in A4 size resizes to A5

Question

Hi,
I am trying to print a PDF file, which somehow succeeds; However the printed page shows the PDF in A5 format. the same pdf printed with acroread32 shows in expected A4 size. Can anyone imagine why? Here is the code:
private void printPdf(File file) throws Exception {
        // set up the PDF reading
        RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(file, "r");
        FileChannel channel = raf.getChannel();
        ByteBuffer buf = channel.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, channel.size());
        PDFFile pdfFile = new PDFFile(buf); // Create PDF Print Page
        // Create Print Job
        PrinterJob pjob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        PageFormat pf = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().defaultPage();
        Book book = new Book();
        PDFPrintPage pages = new PDFPrintPage(pdfFile);
        book.append(pages, pf, pdfFile.getNumPages());
        pjob.setPageable(book);
        // Set print attributes:
        PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
        try {
            // Send print job to printer
            if (pjob.printDialog(aset)) {
                pjob.print(aset);
                Log.Debug(PrintJob2.class, "Document '" + file + "' printed.");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw e;
        } finally {
            raf.close();
    }My guess is that it has to do with PageFormat, but i don't know how to change that?
Best wishes,
Andreas

Hi,
Fixed by setting the paper size manually:
Paper paper = new Paper();
        paper.setSize(594.936, 841.536);
        paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, 594.936, 841.536);
        pf.setPaper(paper);However odd imho
