Hi,

I have to export .pdfs of my drawings often. Unfortunately the scale is printed incorrect. For Example: When I draw a rectangle 1000 x 5000 units and export a sheet (A4) with the scale 1:25 it should be 200mm high. Instead it is 204,361mm high. I measured in illustrator to be shure it is not caused by wrong printer settings. I am using draft sight on a Mac.

What can I do?

best regards

edit: a rectangle of 100x100 units has the size 102,18x102,18 mm after exporting. Even the size of the exported sheet is incorrect: 209,9 x 297,04mm. Choosing ISO A4 or ISO expanded A4 does not make a difference. Choosing an A3 for example in the pdf export options results in a stretched drawing.
Why do I have to choose an output size anyway? The sheets already have a size.
This is also stupid because I can't just export all my sheets at once, because they have different sizes or orientation.
