Using the 30 inch ACD, The View Print Size command does not work correctly, since pixel density is 100 pixels per inch. On my old CRT, pixel density was 72 ppi, and View Print Size worked fine. How can I get this command to work with the ACD? I have probably missed something obvious, but I can’t figure this out.

Preferences > Units & Rulers > New Document Preset Resolutions > Screen Resolution: 100 pixels/inch.

in prefs "units and rulers"

enter your screen resolution where it says screen resolution.

"On my old CRT, pixel density was 72 ppi,"

I’ll bet it wasn’t!

Just as an example, near as I can figure, my screen resolution (CRT) is about 97.2 ppi.

Have a read at the following link. It might provide an interesting enlightenment.
