Indesign exporting larger page

Hi all, this has been going on for 2 years, I cannot export a proper PDF.

No bleeds/marks. Page size 8.5x11

Export size 10x13.5

Nothing works...

also enable the option "Show art, trim & bleed boxes" in the prefrences of Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader.

Preferences > Page Dispay > Page Content and Information

[ x ] Show art, trim & bleed boxes

Are all of the pages in your document the same size? Use the Pages tool and the Tranform panel to check each page size.

Also, make sure there’s no Slug included:

I tried that, here's what my settings are. Seems like a glitch...

You can see my export settings, normal. 8.5 x 11....and the exported PDF has additional margins... no slug, etc

you can see the exported dimensions are larger...

Not even close to enough information. Version of InDesign. Operating system. How are you measuring this PDF.

We'll be happy to help here, but I am betting dollars to donuts that we're dealing with some kind of user error here.
