Acrobat Options...

[Art Campbell]

Not to step on Lester's toes at all, but we recently had the same
experience, setting up installation manuals for lighting fixture
installations.

We wanted to include a full size template in the manual that an
installer could use to drill mounting holes for the fixture. But if
the PDF document was resized at all during printing, the drilling
template wouldn't be accurate.

So it's not an uncommon request.
