How to scale imported PDF to paper size?

Hi, 

 

I have a PDF which is apparently drawn to scale 1:20 on A1 paper. Any ideas on how I import it to scale? Do I need to change the import scale from 1.0000 to something else? What do I do after this?

 

Thanks!

Hi Rebecca,

If you know exactly the real world size of some object in PDF, you can use SCALE command with Reference option to scale the contents of imported PDF after you import it to AutoCAD:
