It seems like Photoshop and Illustrator are set at 73 pixels per inch,
while my Acrobat is set at a 98 pixels per inch?
This has been causing me much confusion...
Whenever I open a document in Acrobat, it looks like I have
a differently sized document, when I actually do not!
How do I know which setting to leave it on, so when someone else views this PDF, it is not larger or smaller than I thought it would be?
The resolution is set in the Preferences. Photoshop and Illustrator should be showing 72ppi, not 73ppi, right?
In Acrobat, choose Acrobat > Preferences > Page Display. Set the resolution in the Resolution area. You can use the default system setting or type a custom value.donna.
