This is also a documentation issue.

If you're printing out a pdf from Fritzing and you have any of the scaling options set (say in adobe), then the printout size will not be accurate. This is especially important for export DIY. Somehow, at least at print/export time in fritzing, we need to remind the user about turning off scaling options.

It would be very nice if we could solve this in our own custom print dialog, but that might be a medium sized coding project.

Maybe another solution could be that the exported pdf is not A4 size, but smaller, e.g. the size of the board with some margin.

This is not s bug. It's an enhancement. Remove Imported label, if t is being considered

Not demand A4 sounds like a good idea. Instead of a reminder, there could be an option to print a ruler / some calibration marks for verification.

Ahh, I miss that we are forcing an A4 size. Please, remove the imported label as I use it to filter old bugs.
