I had to clean the script up a little, but it works. It produces a test.pdf that is aligned. For the input file, I used the source for your post:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::HTMLDoc;

open( 'OUTHTML', '>>', 'test.html' );
my @pdf_lines = <OUTHTML>;
close(OUTHTML);

my $htmldoc = new HTML::HTMLDoc();
$htmldoc->set_html_content(qq~<html><body>A PDF File</body></html>~);
$htmldoc->set_input_file('/user/Desktop/PDF');
$htmldoc->set_page_size('letter');
$htmldoc->set_top_margin( 'top', -500, -500 );
$htmldoc->set_bottom_margin( 'bottom', -500, -500 );
$htmldoc->set_left_margin( 'left', -400, -400 );
$htmldoc->set_right_margin( 'right', -400, -400 );
$htmldoc->set_pagemode( 'pagemode', 'fullscreen' );
$htmldoc->set_html_content(qq~@pdf_lines~);
$htmldoc->get_html_content();
$htmldoc->get_input_file();
$htmldoc->set_header( '.', '.', '.' );
$htmldoc->set_footer( '.', '.', '.' );
$htmldoc->embed_fonts( 'embedfonts', '' );
$htmldoc->no_embed_fonts();

my $pdf = $htmldoc->generate_pdf();
$pdf->to_file('test.pdf');
