I'm using VBA to create a series of PDF files with exportAsFixedFormat to PDF. The page layout size is set to letter size (8.5 x 11) but the resulting PDF files are dimension of 17.35 x 22.45 which is the same aspect ration as 8.5 x 11 but not the correct size (I combine these with other pdf files so I need it in actual 8.5 x 11). Anyone have any insight? I've tried the scale content check box in options and it doesn't make a difference. Oddly if I use the print to pdf option from the file menu, the result is the correct page size. I'd prefer to use exportasfixedformat as I can more easily assign the filenames.

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
It might have to do with the printer settings you are using.
You might be best to post all the VBA code you are using.
