the Size Changes???

If I make a box in Flexi and export it to 365 as a PDF, what they get is a fraction larger than what I generated. If I send them a 36"x24" PDF, when I upload it to their site it measures 36.003" x 24.003". Anyone know how to correct this?

It is a rounding error, which you can safely ignore, unless you're working to some inhuman tolerances, in which case you could truncate the file dimensions to two decimal places, and file size would be perfect

Usually when I see .003 after the dimensions, there is a stroke around the border and it is cropping the document size of the stroke, instead of the artboard.

If I draw a solid filled box in Flexi, there should be no stroke around it. Could their PDF export add that ? If so, how can I stop it?

I just uploaded the same 2x3' black box to 365 both as a PDF and jpg. The PDF had the extra .005 and the jpg didn't. The file size on the pdf was 1kb and the jpg was 319 kb. I appreciate the efficiency of the pdf format.
