I am wanting to print an accurate cutting pattern on A4 sheets as this is my available printer size. The original PDF file is larger than A4. If I select tile large pages, which I would join together before making my template cut, it does not come out to the correct size but is scaled down. Can someone please advise me how to do this please. Original PDF page size is 12" x 18".

Include either a scale or a measured line to one inch or 5 cm in the original document or use a line with a known length. Then in the print UI, select "Tile all pages" and adjust the "Tile scale" as necessary to get the proper length on the printed output.
