Hello,
I’ve created a program which exports PDF (A3 paper size) from modelspace of a drawing which has 1 line object. My next task is I want to get pixels(of PDF) of start point of line object, Is there a way to calculate pixels for A3 paper size in modelspace?
Thanks you!

Pixels?
If you mean "dots"... it >might< be possible, but not so easy (& don't ask about accuracy)
First of all, you need the Plot scale & DPI (Dots Per Inch) setting used for plotting the PDF.
Lets say you use "1 inch = 1 unit" (a line of 10 units = 10 inch)
& a DPI of 300 (300 dots per Inch)
& your start point is 2 drawing units from the left border
Thats: 2x300=600 dots from the left "edge".
However, you might be dealing with a "non-printable area" (white border on papers edge, you can not print on), so you need to add the distance to it. (usually like 5 mm, or 0.2 inch (= 600+60)
You might be using a plot offset too, so you will need to add that as well.
As printing is NOT accurate to the mm (is ~12 dots each with 300DPI), the calculated distance is only a rough approximation.
