Description
A user has pointed out and quantified a sizing difference they are seeing with ICEpdf on widows.
"I noticed that PDF documents are slightly smaller in ICE viewer than in, for example, FoxIt reader. The resaon for this is that FoxIt renders PDFs using windows' 96 DPI but Java2D renders at 72 DPI thus i get smaler images by 1.3 (96/72=1.3333333) "
This is probably worth taking a closer look at as there is likely something in the graphics configuration that we can check the host OS's dpi and do any necessary scaling. Currently we take no special action.

I still have to take a closer look at this suggesting but at first glance seems like a good idea. The rendering core change could be problematic for some users so it will be best left for the 5.0 release or at the very least made configurable via system properties.

Going to push this off a bit as the default user unit is 1/72 of a inch for a PDF. There is a new property on the Page object called "UserUnit" which can be used to specify the size of the default user unit 1.0= 1/72 inch.

Still think this is worth looking at but not for a maintenance release, moving to 4.3.
