PDF to Book

PDF size bigger than Indesign!

I am working on a small square, softcover book. Everytime I export to PDF (including after multiple re-downloading of export settings and templates) for my softcover, it changes the size in the PDF back to the original template size. The template has to be adjusted to accommodate my 26-page book to 996 × 495 points. The width jumps to 1014 pts. I even tried creating my own indesign document and not using the template and the same size adjustement happened with exporting.

Tech support just keeps telling me to download new templates.

I’m using Indesign CS2. 

Please help!

Hi. Make your book size 978 × 477 points (from calculator Total Trin Size (w x h)). Then final book size should be 996 × 495 points.

"Book size" should be "cover size". Sorry my mistake.
