//Make PDF to have a setting to force paper printing to use "Actual Size"
//as scaling default when printing to paper. <PRINT_SCALING/>
//
//In order to force Acrobat to use "Actual Size" when printing,
//we need to set "PrintScaling" to "None".  As of PDF version 1.7 (Acrobat 8+),
//this setting is ignored unless it is associated with a "Enforce" setting.
//
//PDFSharp supports creating these "ViewerPreferences" settings.  When you pass it
//a setting string key (must be prefixed with a "/"), it creates a setting string with
//the key followed by the value within parentheses.  Such as:
//      /PrintScaling(None)
//
//However, with PDF 1.7, it must use the /Enforce setting.  By using Acrobat's
//document "Properties | Advanced" option, you can change the setting to find out that
//the correct format is:
//      /Enforce(PrintScaling)/PrintScaling/None
//
//Therefore, we will have PDFSharp create a string that is virtually identical
//to the one we need.  The "virtually identical" setting string will be:
//      /Enforce(PrintScaling/PrintScaling/None)
//Then, when all is done (save the doc stream to a byte array), we will replace
//the "virtually identical" setting string with a setting string that is what we want.
