I´ve created an image with Photoshop in the format of A4 (2480x3508 pixel). But when I rightclick on the PNG data and choose "convert in Adobe PDF", the created PDF is way bigger than A4 format. In the characteristics it has dimensions of 875x1237 mm. (A4: 210x297 mm)

In the other hand, when I convert an A4 PDF to PNG, the dimensions are also 2480x3508 pixel, like my image I have created with Photoshop.

Use the TIFF format instead, which retains the image resolution determined in Photoshop, unlike the PNG format which resets this value to 72 dpi.
