Exporting to pdf

I am having serious problems getting the pdf size correct for 3rd party users to print out to scale. I have page set to iso A3 but when it exports it comes up a slightly bigger size. I can not find any where to change these settings. As far as I can see the print size is exported correctly. Open the file to print and it has grown a fraction in size. Any suggestions?

The page size may be wrong, but the content has the correct size. I hope?!?!?!?
The trick is in the printing: have them set the print scale to 100% and ignore the crop warning.

I have tried this. What I would like to do is get the exported page size correct so that the crop warning does not occur for a third party. It is no problem for me to print, it is when someone else tries it.

No matter what Paper size I have from what ever program, Preview (Mac) and Acrobat always seem to find pleasure in scaling down my work or, if I'm awake enough to catch that, pestering me with crop warnings.
I tried making the paper size so small it would never need to scale down or crop, but then, on printers with smaller margins they start to scale up. Sigh.....
