Word File to PDF on iMac

Bit of a conundrum with this one. Any assistance would be appreciated.

iMac operating OS X El capitan. MS Office 2013 recently upgraded to 2015

Problem: When changing an A4 WORD doc into an A4 PDF doc using File - Save as.. - PDF,
previously the PDF would appear as per the Word i.e. A4 layout.

Since installing Office 2015, the resultant PDF is the size of a postage stamp at the top centre of the page.

How do I change this to act as before?

Cheers

Try Printing and select PDF.

Thanks, tried that - same result.
I guess it's in the OS X printer settings somewhere, but I can't find it.

Try to print to PDF again, but use the 'scale' field to increase the size. 400% or so. Then save this version

Fixed! It was a mismatch between the old and the new.
