Hi Leonard, Thanks for the info, here is my issue. I am scanning in an image using my own TWAIN implementation and then importing it into a PDF. I get a BMP from TWAIN, save it as a PDF using LEADTools (1 page) and then use PDDocInsertPages to put the page in my document. If the image is scanned in at close to 72dpi, the page view "zoom factor" in Acrobat is close to 100%. If I scan an image at 300dpi, the image is displayed fine on the screen in Acrobat, but it is zoomed out to around 20%. If I view at 100%, I only see a portion of the image. I believe this has to do with the media box / page dimensions, but can't figure out how to fix it. I assume this is related to the fact that PDF coordinates are based on 72dpi? If I manually reset the page's media box, the image is cropped. Any ideas? Thanks. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Leonard Rosenthol [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 1:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PDFdev] Media Box Dimensions PDFdev is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com _____________________________________________________________ At 06:59 AM 2/18/2004, Chris Cyr wrote: >I am using Acrobat 5.0 SDK with C++ to create a plugin.

Although it's not really pixels, if you think about PDF coordinates as being the pixels on a bitmap at 72dpi, all your math will work. AND don't forget that 0,0 (the origin) is bottom left. So to figure out the size of a mediabox, for example, you can do: 8.5 * 72 and 11 * 7.2 for the values.
