Is there a ruler or scale measurement anywhere on the .pdf that you can measure when you print? Something like that is often included so you can verify the printed scale.

Print it without the "Fit to page" radio button checked.

What size of paper man?

 

[bholder]

Ok, well paper size shouldn't matter if it's big enough to fit the whole image.

And we know the distance between two of the fixed points on the picture, say the neck bridge bolt holes - look up the specs for those distances, measure them on the printout - if they match, you're good.

Well I didn't find the bolt hole distances, but here are the neck pocket dimensions, ought to match: Warmoth Custom Guitar Parts - Bass Necks FAQ2

You print them at their actual size (no fit to paper) but you will need a large format printer. When I used these I sent the pdf to Staples and told them to print actual size and it was like $4 for a big rolled up copy on white paper

Or you can select "poster" in you print driver and it should print it on 6 or 8 sheets of regular paper that you can then put together to make a big picture

Yeah, cool, just remember to measure to verify. I didn't know about that "poster" size trick, but makes perfect sense, thanks @robd! Always learning useful new tidbits here on TB!
