PCB layout size confusion

[philbinator1]

Hey guys,

I'm having a little trouble with the correct size of my pcb layouts...in particular the Gausmarkov bsiab2 and dr boogey.  when i print out
from adobe the resolution is great, but the board printout seems a little small?  So I copied it from adobe to publisher, and now it's bigger
but the resolution has 'jaggies', not good.  I don't want to print on my new pnp blue and find out it's too big/small.   any ideas?

oh yeah i have clicked on 'no page scaling' too.

Print it out on plain (cheap) paper and use an opamp to check the spacing of the IC holes.

Thanks for the reply   

Neither layout has a ic on it...my main problem is keeping the resolution really.  I can't print straight from adobe reader as I can't
position the pcb how i want (up the top, in the corner).  If i print it in the middle, then that's where it'll be on the press n peel...
not very cost effective as far as pnp blue is concerned.  exporting to publisher embiggens and de-resolutes the image.

and yes I know embiggens isn't a word.    

any other ideas?
