What do you mean by "I set the size to 5x7"? What size did you set, and where? Your .afpub file has a page (spread) size of 8.5 x 11.

It doesn’t matter whether you have one 5″ × 7″ photo or two, since two will fit on a 11″ × 8½″ sheet, but you still haven’t told us what size you get instead of 5″ × 7″ when you try to print it or them. (I hope you’re using plain paper for your test prints!)

PaulEC Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I would suspect that the problem is with scaling when printing the page. In the APub file you attached the page size is correct and the two images are also correct size. Rather than placing the pictures side by side in the top left corner, I would suggest placing them centrally, with a border of white space around them. (Preferably also with a gap between them,) When you print the sheet, make sure there is no scaling used. (i.e. "Fit type" should be set to "Scale" and "Scale" to "100%").
