Maintain Original Document Size

How can I keep pdfCreator from adding additional "white space" or increasing the margins to my doucments?
When I create the PDF, pdfCreator adds space at the top (and bottom), which changes the appearance of the original material.
Is there an option that I have missed that will keep the original document size?
Also, if I create a PDF of a scanned document (say a utility bill), pdfCreator always make it a fixed paper size (say 8.5 x 11). If I use cutePDF or PrimoPDF they both create the PDF file the same size as the original - whatever the scanned size, that is the size of the PDF.
How do I get rid of this extra white space?
I far perfer pdfCreator but I want the document to retain the original size.
Am I missing something?
I just noticed something that appears to be quite simple - but probably hard to implement.
On another "pdf converter", there is an Option called "Document Size" and the two choices are (1) Original Size and (2) Fit to Page.
That would be nice to have in pdfCreator - and maybe that would solve this issue.
I'm still not sure how "Paper Size" in the Advanced Printer Options affects this or how "Scaling" may also be causing the problem.
I was going to try to download and install an older version of pdfCreator and see if I could determine when this issue came to life.
