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?
Something has definitely changed in pdfCreator. It used to maintain the original document size, be it business card size, letter, or spreadsheet - pdfCreator would faithfully reproduce the same size.
I just don't know when this change took place and what previous version worked. (I'm making the assumption its pdfCreator that changed and not Adobe Reader, etc. that is displaying/printing the document differently.)
If I recall, we didn't have page size selection a number of versions ago. Maybe that's when this happened.
