Hello,

 

I've set up a file for printing at 300x300 millimeters, 300 dpi and when I want to export it as a PDF, the file gets bigger and measures 850x850 millimeters, which is much too big and doesn't correspond to the original size.

 

I also have exactly the same problem with Photoshop and Indesign.

 

I don't understand why my file is getting bigger. Would you have a solution for me?

 

Thanks in advance.

Julie

THis happens when exporting a PDF? You cannot save a PDF with Save for web. Are you referring to PNG?

When you want to keep pixel dimensions, export at 72 ppi.
