Not exactly sure what this is supposed to look like.  Perhaps you could
post the PDF as well.

I am guessing that what you are displaying is a portrait format Letter
or A4 page and that "Fit Width" has caused the page to be displayed too
wide while still showing all of it rather than enlarging the page and
only showing part of if vertically.

I have to say that I do not know what would cause this.

Does it work if you choose a magnification rather than selecting "Fit
Width".

I notice that your screen shot appears to be wide screen.  Do you have a 
wide screen display?  And, do the other systems where it works correctly 
have a wide screen display?
