Which Tool are you using ? and check the printer settings of the tool. There should be an option for "resize to fit" option in any tool. I am sure PDF format is not for fabrication output, so resizing to fit the page size (say A3) should not cause any great damage.

OK... I understood that. m.n is the output resolution setting in Orcad. m.n means 1 mil resolution. Use m.n of 3.4. This works well with most PCB designs. You can access this in following menu..

In Layout Plus -> Options -> Gerber Preference -> Output resolution . Check the existing resolution. If its 2.3, change it to 3.4 format and try printing. Also make sure your output format is Extended format (RS-274X)
