External File and Worksheet

I want to bring in my external file [pdf] that is original paper size 11 x 17 into the workhseet. But why that the paper size becomes 22 x 34 when it is placed on the worksheet. What do I have to do to make sure to have the same paper size on the worksheet? I tried the scale but doesn't help to bring it to original paper size. Any help please.....

Before placing the PDF in the Worksheet make sure that the scale on the worksheet matches the scale of the drawing within the PDF. If the drawing says 1:50 that is what it should match. If after placing the drawing the scale still does not match then that means that the scale in the original PDF is wrong and you will need to rescale after exploding it.

If you want to match the size of the paper then the scale has to be set 1:1 before placing.
