Export printing-file, wrong size


kmdk

Recommended Posts

I use on Windows10 and macOS 10.15.1 and the latest versions of affinity designer.

when I export a DIN A5 Artboard to a print file in 300 dpi, the size of the document will be showed later in the properties of the pdf-Viewer more than the size in affinity designer.

for example: I create the DIN A5 artboard in the size 210 mm x 148 mm. in the properties of the file document I give 1mm around all sides for the cutting in the printing factory. so I must have a total size  from 150 mm x 212 mm. BUT equal with which System (Windows or macOS) I export the document file, I became after opening the file with macOS a total size from 150,1 mm x 212,1 mm. when I open the same file with Windows 10, the size is correct.

when I want to load up the file from macOS to a printing company, they don't accept the file (wrong size). from a windows system it works!!??

I don't know, where the mistake is...

two screenshots for bettet understanding...

best regards

Same here. Regardless of the document type, dimensions, etc. I create, after the export from AD the pdf will always have 1 mm wrong on one or both sides (opened it in Preview on Mac).

macOS Mojave 10.14.6

Affinity Designer 1.7.3

best regards
