Hello guys, I'm a complete beginner here... Can you please look at the following example and let me know if you have any ideas why the sizes do not match? I have 2 artboards, each with 42.0 cm by 29.7 cm. I need to export it to a pdf that will include a bleed and be uploaded online in final size 42.2 cm by 29.9 cm: So I have inserted a 0,1cm Bleed. And this is the Pdf size I get: 42.195 by 29.897cm. Any ideas why these small differences? What am I doing wrong with the bleed and what could I try to fix it? Thanks!

Hey thanks for the reply. I understand what the bleed does and also that I am not using it correctly. Any idea what could I be doing wrong so that I get these super small differences?

Hello Melissa, Thanks for your reply! You are right and I figured out that example finally! I'm a complete beginner here... However, can you please look at the following example, as this is what got me overly confused actually. I have 2 artboards, each with 42 by 29.7cm. I need to export it to a pdf that will include the bleed and be 42.2 cm by 29.9cm. So I have inserted a 0,1cm Bleed. And this is the Pdf size I get: 42.195 by 29.897cm. Any ideas why these small differences?

Hello there, I'm experiencing a problem that got me very frustrated so far and I could really use some help. I have been trying to export a pdf file of 21cm by 10,5cm, with 2cm bleed, as seen below. However, the PDF exported is not nearly the size I wish to export. I have tried troubleshooting with almost everything I found on forums, but it still happens. I also tried this with a new document and the export size is bigger by a few mm as well. I appreciate any ideas...
