thanks for the reply - I'm posting this update in case anyone is interested ...
After much research: there is no way to control margins in a PDF document; this is just an inherent limitation of Acrobat. To make something like templates, the best thing to do is create the document (in whatever software is best for the project) and then use distiller to create the Acrobat file. Then, in Acrobat, use the Object selection tool to select the entire page and try to center it as much as possible.
After extensive testing, this procedure makes templates print correctly on many printers with about 85% to 90% success rate. On some printers, mainly HP ones, the variation is pretty big, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
On other brands of printers, it is pretty consistent.
Anyway, in case someone was curious, I hope this information helps ...

Yes there's!! Maybe not with Acrobat, but still there's a way to control margins...
I'm not so certain that this is a suitable solution for you, but take a look at:
