Help me save this as a PDF in exactly the dimensions it is already in.

I have a photoshop document. It's canvas is 8.737 inches in width and 11.237 inches in length. I would like a PDF file. I would like the PDF file to be exactly 8.737 inches in width and 11.237 inches in length. When I try to save this as a PDF, however, I instead get a size of exactly 8.5 inches in width by 11 inches in length. It is absolutely infuriating. Please, for the love of god, help me.

I figured it out. "Saving a copy" and making it a Photoshop PDF retained the dimensions.

If you save it as a pdf. It should have the option when printing to change to actual size. Did you check the print size int the option panel when printing?

I found 2 samples for you to check.

Adobe Acrobat
1 Launch Adobe Acrobat and open the file that you want to save with the altered initial view settings.
2 Click "File" and select "Properties." Click the "Initial View" tab and select "100%" from the Magnification drop-down menu.
3 Click "OK" and click the "Save File" icon at the top of the screen.

Or in Acrobat check this option:
