    Hi all, normally when sent art work I’m given the output size as well as the file, is there a way to tell what size the files are meant to be from the PDF files I have been sent?.Thanks Rich

    Normally when you import, the Pdf should come in full size, unless the original was done to scale. No real way to check, as I normally adjust page size before I distill……..

    Open the PDF in Acrobat Reader (double click on it)
    Hover mouse around the bottom left, the PDF Page size is there, if it’s in inches you can change that in Preferences / Units

    Only downside is people who add trimming/crop marks, but its a good start
