Re: page size / sheet size image centering
Having printed this I think I was expecting to open the created pdf in Firefox as a single page - but it appeared across 10 pages (which I now assume were 10 number A4).
Probably because the printer Firefox was set to had A4 as the default.

am I correct to imagine that if I sent this pdf to someone with an A0 physical printer that (assuming they printed as "actual size") a 1 metre physical ruler laid along the wall would have the same size as the wall on paper?
Assuming the PDF printer didn't scale a little while creating the PDF because of margins this should be correct. But I suspect a little scaling was done to fit within the margins. The same for the physical printer, it most likely can't print to the paper edge so a minimum margin is needed. It will be close though.
