It turns out that the issue was not related to the FPDI class.  The 
issue appears to be that the web browsers are adding extra margin space 
to the PDF.

When I view and print the PDF locally it renders as expected.  When I 
view and print the PDF through a web browser it adds a wider margin, 
thus slightly shrinking the overall size of the documents and all of 
it's contents!  (Tested on Mac and PC with Firefox, Safari and IE, all 
with the same result.)

Anyone know if there is some setting that I can manipulate that will 
prevent this browser behavior?

This may be an issue that would benefit from the front end list so I'll 
post there as well.
