Scaling image that horizontal and vertical scales

Using AutoCAD LT 16.

 

Converting an elevation view from PDF to DWG. It has a horizontal scale (1" = 120') and a vertical scale (1" = 12'). 

 

Is there a way to scale this elevation view so that I have the correct horizontal distances and vertical elevations?

 

Thanks!

Put it in your drawing twice have one of the objects 10x smaller or greater than the other.

Make the PDF into a block, you can then scale the X and Y axis independently in the toolpalette, but as a note, once scaled some objects cannot be exploded.

Try bringing it in as a PDF and then adjusting the X and Y as @ steven-g suggested. 

 

Are you only using AutoCAD LT? Are you using other Autodesk product's too?
