export to pdf changing page size

Participant ,
Mar 03, 2025 Mar 03, 2025

I am exporting an 8.5x11 document (130 pages) to pdf. There are no bleeds. It is coming out as 9x11.5 in the pdf. I've never had this problem before. I tried exporting to Postscript, but that keeps turning the page from vertical to landscape, and I can't find options to change that in the export screen (all grayed out). Please help! Is this a glitch in the new (v 20.1) InDesign?

Sorry! I just did post to InDesign. I was jumping around so much I didn't realize I was in the wrong forum.

Hi @kdwpilgrim1 , Make sure you are not including any marks—all the Marks and Bleeds boxes are unchecked. Also InDesign lets you mix different size pages, make sure they are all the same size—use the Pages Tool to check a page’s dimensions.

Did you include page marks or info? 

 

Avoid PostScript in modern times.

Unfortunately, we don't have access to your computer - you'll have to post some screenshots of your PDF Export settings.
