printing proofs from pdf files

[junedonofrio]

i was advised from someone to print my proofs from a pdf file to get high quality of photos etc... this does work great, however when i print from the pdf file, the size comes out only about 93% of the original size, does anyone know how to get the pdf size to come out to the original size ??

any help will be greatly appreciated

In your print dialog, are you making sure that the PDF is not being scaled? There is a 'fit to page' option in Acrobat's print dialog that would reduce a page image to about 93% to fit. Make sure this is unchecked.

What type of machine are you proofing to?

not sure if you mean what kind of printer ? i have a HP 1200 lazer. i have changed the print fit to page thingy (in the pdf adobe), & it works fine now, prints out at the correct size & much better resolution than when printing from quark.
thanks so much for the info, it was a big help !
