Inaccuracy in PDF export

I draw a square 100x100mm.
I print the square with a scale of 1 to a PDF file.
When I dimension the square in Adobe using the dimension tool, it has dimensions of 99.59x99.61mm.
When I export the file as PDF, it has in Adobe dimensions of 99.95x99.95mm.
Where can these deviations come from?
My customer expects the exact dimensions there.

Try using the print function instead, i.e. select Adobe PDF as the printer. All the best, Mike Reply \| Quote \| Subscribe to post


Valued member	wuethrich@konstruktionen.ch - 2/17/2024 6:03:24 AM RE:Inaccuracy in PDF export Hi Mike, I usually also use Adobe PDF as a printer. Unfortunately, I have major inaccuracies. Apparently hardly anyone uses Adobe's dimensioning tool, otherwise the inaccuracy wouldn't just bother me. kind regards Roland Roland Wüthrich Konstruktionsbüro Wüthrich Switzerland Reply \| Quote \| Subscribe to post
