Aloha A-M-I-T S|S,

By default, the Org-mode LaTeX exporter assumes that the length and  
width of a table will fit on the printed page.  When this isn't the  
case, you'll need to override the default settings.  This is discussed  
in the manual:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Tables-in-LaTeX-export.html#Tables-in-LaTeX-export

Looking at your pdf output, it appears to me that you will need to use  
a longtable and set the alignment.  Fields with long entries can be  
wrapped in LaTeX with, e.g. p{1in}, where the part between the curly  
braces is a LaTeX length.  You have 9 columns in the table, which  
might be a bit much for a printed page, but you would need to do  
something like this: #+ATTR_LaTeX: longtable  
align=llp{0.5in}p{0.5in}p{0.5in}p{0.5in}p{0.5in}p{0.5in}p{0.5in}, then  
fiddle with the length values until you have something that works.

hth,
Tom
