I created an artboard that is 1416px wide.

I need to handle the PDF to a coder, with it having the same actual size as the website.

Yet when I save it as a PDF and he gives it a 100% zoom (chooses view>actual size) it appears a lot bigger than what I intended. I checked the file dimensions and it stills says 1416px wide, also if I export it for web as a JPG and compare the two the JPG has the correct size while the PDF is bigger.

JPG Actual Size

PDF Actual Size (A lot bigger)

Why could this happen?

Maybe try viewing in Adobe Acrobat. They should be in sync. The default is likely that 100% in other Adobe programs = 100% in Acrobat.

File > SaveAs > Select the pdf format
Select the option 'Smallest File Size' from the dropdown menu for quality.

This will export your pdf in the smallest possible resolution that is your artboard size.

Ahh, then the issue is in the PDF resolution. It should be 72 dpi.
(The one you exported seems to be around 150 dpi).

Honestly, I'm no expert at all the options there. You may check the options' meanings here (LINK)

Also, like @mrserge said, if you're posting it as image, use PNG or JPG instead. Be sure to use the options Interlace or Progressive, and anti-alias.

This is for web, right? So I wonder why you're using PDF...?

Do not use PDF for coder. Use jpg or png export (save for web).
