My current problem is that when I export to a PDF from Indesign 2, then print to my inkjet (also my clients inkjet) that the file is reduced to 93 % of original. Printing directly from InDesign is 100%. Printing the same PDF from Photoshop 7 outputs at 100% but out of alignment. I even tried exporting to an EPS then saving it as a PDF with Photoshop and printing from Acrobat 5. The output is still 93% of full size.

I've checked all settings and can't find anything to sugget that Indesign, Acrobat or my printer are reducing the output or adjusting to fit a page in any way.

Oh, and I did scour the archives for a solution, so I apologize if this problem has been answered in the past.

I'm using a Mac G4 and OS-X, incase you were wondering.

Thank you for all answers.
 
Is Acrobat printing with 'fit to page' in the print dialog? 93% sounds like a fit to page issue.

I cant believe I missed that ... its actually phrased "Shrink oversized pages to page size.
