If I don't have any clue as to the scale prior to printing, I use my scale after printing to figure out how much to enlarge or reduce the drawing. Once it is within 99%, there is nothing else I can do with the limitations of my copier. At 99%, details can be treated as actual size, but large distances are not. In the case of the Oahu Railway coach (a 36'2" coach in On3) that I am currently working on, there is a 4" error in the length of car. 4/434 < 1%
Little errors seem to be what I usually get with pdfs and enlargements.

My primary goal is a large Oahu Railway layout in On3
My secondary interests are modeling the Denver, South Park, & Pacific in On3 and NKP in HO
