Normally no: if the printscaling option is set to NONE internally,
Adobe Reader should 'obey' it, BUT: the print scaling option
is rather recent (PDF 1.5? I only have my 1.4 Reference Manual
here, I left my 1.6 Manual at home), so older Readers may ignore it.

Not really.
In my case, setting the Page Scaling to 'Fit to printer margins' shows a
zoom of 96%.
As you are talking about "Fit to page", I wonder: what Adobe Reader
version are you using?
