I am having a similar issue but on windows. Bridge is inconsistent when displaying pdf dimensions

Says who or rather »what«, as in: which application gives that measurement?

Can you rpovide the file or at least screenshots?

What are the image’s pixel dimensions and Resolution?

What are the pdf-export settings you use?

i normally work on windows in my office job but recently iv brought a mac studio and started working on mac and never encountered this problem when outputting as PDF from photoshop.

the measurements are being shown in bridge like below. when the dimensions should be 5.9 x 8.9cm

see below the export settings when i go to File > save as> photoshop PDF

when i hit save pdf I also get this pop up showing the below which again i havenot seen before.

any help or advice would be amazing as this is super frustrating and i just want to get to the bottom of why it keeps resizing.

thanks

Please open the pdf in a proper pdf-application (like Acrobat) and check its size there.
