Default Adjusting hinged doors

I have a standard wooden internal hinged door. I have recently put a new
floor down and when closing the door, the leading edge (i.e. handle edge
not the hinge edge) rubs on the floor. Rather than take the door off and
plane the bottom etc I thought that if I packed the hinge out a little
it would kick that edge up and solve the problem. Only needs about 1mm.
So I packed the bottom hinge on the door frame and that seemed to have
the opposite effect.


Anyone know which hinge (top or bottom) I should pack and then where the
bit that goes on the frame or the bit on the door?


Change the hinges for rising butt types?
