If the OP wants to use Acrobat, that is up to him, and I am not against it, nor am I trying to push Preview on him.
What I can't understand is <<why>> it's so important that it looks perfect in Preview, if he ever intends to print this out.
If he is doing something else with these, say... making pdfs to include into another document, then I still fail to see why it matters that a little bit of the top is clipped.

If you want to be a jerk about it; then be a jerk, I'll stop contributing to OS X TeX, like so many others who found their support unwelcome.
