Document size doesn't match printed size

[jasonteunissen]

Hi Guys,

 

Im currently working on a name badges template for a company.

The size in Affinity designer is 74mm x 24mm

 

When I export to pdf and print it they are 70mm x 23.

This is also when "fit" is turned off.

 

Is there anything I need to change when exporting to pdf? could DPI have anything to do with it?

srry Im a web guy and not a print guy :P 

 

Hope you can help.

Hi jasonteunissen,

Can you please upload the afdesign file for us to check out what's going on please?

You can PM me the link if you don't want to post the file publicly. All files will be deleted after inspected.

Thanks.

sure

 

the size is also mentioned below the file.

 

easiest would be to link the dropbox file.

Hi, was this ever resolved? I have just experienced a similar problem. When I print out my Affinity Publisher file and print the same file exported as a PDF, the pdf is reduced in size by about 3mm on each side. Is there a setting I should be applying to prevent this shrinkage? Apologies I am also a newbie and am just trialling the Affinity software, not even a registered user yet. Hope you can help.

Thanks,

Wayne
