exported PDF file has different measures from model in Designer

[Phersuri]

Good morning and thanks in advance for any help.

I used Designer to draw a pattern that is 210mm x 155mm.

At this point i exported it to a PDF file and printed it, making sure it's 100% the original size: but on paper it keeps printing 200mm x 150mm instead of the original size.

 

Any suggestions? what i am i doing wrong there?

Welcome to the forums @Phersuri apologies for the late response.

To confirm, have you re-imported the PDF back into Designer to check that the dimensions match the original .afdesign file, or alternatively have you checked the PDF properties in a PDF reader such as Acrobat to confirm this?

If the dimensions match the original document, could you confirm if printing from an external PDF reader also results in the size difference or is it specific to printing from Designer's print dialog?

Finally, does your document have a bleed and/or margins set correctly relative to the print driver's settings?

Thanks
