Hi guys,
Can anyone assist me with my scaling issue? I have created patterns for a project in Sketch-Up and I can export the files as a JPEG. The scaling does not change. The patterns are quite large, so I've been getting them printed on A2 paper at the local Office Works. They always open my JPEGs in Photoshop and today they even saved the file as a PDF for me. However, every time I get these printed, they are at least 10% over sized.
Tonight I saved all of my JPEGs as PDFs using Photoshop and I got the same thing. On screen using the "actual pixels" icon, the size is correct. Save as a PDF and open at 100% and I've suddenly gained about 10%. I always include a 25.4mm XY axis for checking scaling and the lines are about 28mm, not 25mm. If I view the image at 90%, it is pretty close to being correct. Yet when I asked OW for them to print them at 90%, they were too small - about 5mm too small on a straight edge.
Is there a setting I've missed or another way to do this? Any help would be appreciated.
