PrimoPDF is frequently recommended in these NGs, but it's possible that
those who recommend it are just grateful to get any kind of PDF result and
are not being picky about scaling. I do know that Acrobat (for me at least)
seems to produce a reasonable facsimile of my original word document.
Although I do a lot of the same sort of thing and use pretty much the same
layout and styles for most things (using templates designed for the
purpose), every job is different, and I encounter a wide variety of jobs,
both personal and in my business.

"Suzanne,
What application are you using to do the conversion?
I've tried two: PrimoPDF and PDF Converter. Both give exactly the same
result.
As for content vs. layout, I do usually have some layout in mind, or the
author whose work I'm typing/typesetting has indicated a layout, but
often I have to tweak the layout many times...
As I suspected, your situation is quite different from mine. Ninety
percent of my work is done using just one layout, which is fixed and which
I never change or tweak. The remaining ten percent uses two or three
additional layouts, about which the same thing is true: I never change
them.
