That just gives me a lot of measuring error. The construction of the
iLiad is such that there will be a lot of that.

An alternative would be to know the exact PDF document size that makes the PDF reader scaling 1.0 -- it should not have to be measured, it should be well known beforehand, as inherent in the construction of the PDF reader.

One earlier attempt produced 120 x 151 mm ... while I get something closer to 123 x 149.5 mm (or rather 349 x 424 Postscript points). 3 mm along one edge ... that's lots of error...
