Hey,

I changed in the document setup the size of the document a little.

 

When I now export the file, the exported document size does not change.

 

What can I do?

How many pages is the file? Check the size of each page using the Page tool then look in the Control Panel or the Properties Panel.

 

InDesign lets you change the size of each page. If you change the size of a page then change the document size in Document Setup any pages that had hteir size changed will stay the same size.

You're going to have to supply a lot more information. Export the file to WHAT? How do know the document size is wrong? Where are you checking this?

I click on "Export" and then I export to pdf.

When I then open the file with some pdf viewer, it shows the format (which is not exactly) the size I entered in the "document setup."

Again, we need details. There is no way to help without specific information. What is the size of the document? Is there bleed? How do you know they don't match? Perhaps some screenshots would help.
