So I am at my wit's end and I've already had several people at work try to help but they can't figure it out either.

Here is the situation;
I'm using Photoshop CS2. I have created a document that is 8.5" x 11" at 400dpi CMYK. I've finished the project and want to make a PDF to take to the printers. I choose Save As, give it a name, select Photoshop PDF, and Save. No problem. If I reopen the document in Photoshop everything is fine and just as I made it. But if I open the same document with Acrobat and do a print preview my image is reduced down to about 3" x 4". So I'm looking at the 8.5" x 11" print page and my document is about a third of the page in the center. I have done this dozens of times in the past and I'm pulling my hair trying to figure out where things are going wrong now.

I have tried everything I can think of. What really confuses me is why the same document has different dimensions in different programs. In Photoshop the document is normal as it should be but the same document viewed in Acrobat is much smaller.

In the past I would just save whatever document I had going in Photoshop as a pdf and it kept the same dimensions.

What am I missing here, PLEASE?

I don't know what's the problem here, maybe you (or someone else who worked on your PC) made some changes in settings or it is just a software error.

Why are you saving in .pdf, can't you save it in .jpg or any other format?

I would try to reinstall photoshop, this might help
