Scan to objects to actual size –

[ANCIENT_S]

Hi trying to scan an object – silver piece – to my iMac with its actual size reflected on the scan output PDF. Current scan settings: document preset / colour output / a4 / scanner glass source / 75-300 dpi resolution variations / low compression.

75 dpi comes out very close to piece displayed using Adobe acrobat PDF viewer on an actual size view setting. 300 dpi has a ~5mm difference in size.

Who can help me get an accurate scan output?

Hi Jay_G24,

Your help would be appreciated! Scanning using HP Easy Scan. How do i proceed? 

PS.  The how to scan document had generic i formation - no pointers to scan an object and output a PDF reflecting actual size.
