A1 vs ANSI D
A1 is 35.2 mm wider and 22.6 mm shorter than ANSI D. They are close but not interchangeable: a layout built for one clips or leaves a border on the other.

What Is Lost Printing One on the Other
At 100% scale, both centred, nothing resized. A positive figure on the wider or taller side is cropped; on the other it is a blank margin.
| Axis | Gap | A1 onto ANSI D | ANSI D onto A1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 17.6 mm (0.69 in) each side | A1 loses it | blank band |
| Height | 11.3 mm (0.44 in) each end | blank band | ANSI D loses it |
Scale-to-Fit Percentages
The figure to type into a printer or PDF dialog to scale one to fit inside the other:
| ANSI D to fit A1 | 97% | leaves a thin border on one pair of edges |
|---|---|---|
| A1 to fit ANSI D | 94% | leaves a thin border on one pair of edges |
