Hi,

I'm developing some graphics in Illustrator for the cover of a B5 publication which will be laid out in Indesign. I noticed that the B5 template size differs between the two programs:
Illustrator: 182x257mm

Indesign: 176x250mm

Is there a reason why? Or a bug?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Illustrator appears to be using the Japanese B5 size, which is different to the ISO B5. As for why, I would guess an error was made when the presets were defined, as other CC apps use the ISO sizes.

Here's a uservoice post about it. It only has a few votes though, so it's unlikely to gain much attention:
