I just redrew it using the dimensions there. But for the future. How is it possible to print a pdf to exact scale? I asked at a couple of "computing" forums and was told again and again that you must print, measure, resize, print, measure, resize, etc, to get it right. That seems pretty crude. I can't believe that when someone sends you a pdf of a gasket, for instance, with inch and mm scales on the page, that Adobe has not made it easier for you to scale it properly. Did I just say can't believe that?
Some years ago I was filling out numerous law school applications. I got so pissed at Adobe for dumbing out the utility to fill in and save information on forms unless you poneyed up for their expensive editing tools that I swore i'd boycot them in the future where I could. Adobe ingratiates itself with governments, schools, and other public institutions, and then extorts the public users of the forms generated in order to utilized VERY BASIC features. I discovered PDFXchange viewer and that was solved. It even lets you use your trackpad to sign documents. Very cool. Screw Adobe. Rant over.
Please tell me they didn't dumb out this ability as well? (i think i already know the answer). I have not figured out if it's possible in PDFXchange. I've tried, but I'm not really that good at this stuff. But shouldn't even such idiots as myself be able to print a properly scaled document?
Another poster did in fact post a corrected pdf based on Zaph's that went through my printer PERFECTLY. When I asked how he accomplished this he responded....
I tried this in a program called dia. It would not import pdf. I converted to png and opened it and still could not figure out what to do. I tried opening the file in Sketchup. Sketchup wouldn't budge on it. Sketchup advised me that the file was locked. Its the same file that the poster above used successfully.
Any help?

Hi!
1. Import *.pdf in any normal vector graphic application
2. Scale (specify precisely dimensions).
Or make any other manipulations with vector objects
3. Export to pdf (if necessary)
