Well, I don’t dare to post such a PDF document on the net. Most people
won’t be able to even know how to handle that in years. And they
probably don’t have to.

As a matter of fact, thanks to
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF_Print_Options, I only have to press
Ctrl+P and Enter using Acrobat > 9.

In all copyshops, I have to say: please, don’t touch page scaling when
is set to None. And to avoid a too rational (or too rude) reasoning, I
show them the Advanced tab in the document properties from Acrobat
(Ctrl+D

sorry it’s in German]).

Then I also explain that this is read from the document and that it
won’t change the default from Adobe.

If they do that for a living, I guess that your proposal would be too
complex for most of the users.

Of course, PDF experts will know how to handle that. But they are a
minority. (I cannot consider myself an expert, because I don’t fully
understand the PDF specification [I cannot code :-(].)
