HungryMagpie Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 I do most of my work for screens, and am not well versed in print... I have a file that measures 1200 x1800px at 300 dpi, but when I export to PDF, no matter what settings I use, it shrinks it to 288 x 432px. I have been over all the settings, and can't see what is going wrong. Help! Collet_VinRoom_Card.afdesign Quote

I think you will find that it is 288 x 432 points ("pt"), not pixels ("px"). The so-called Desktop publishing point is 1/72 of an international inch, so multiply points by 72 to get lengths in pixels. At 300 dpi, this will print as a 4" x 6" sized print, but the pixel resolution is unchanged.
