Comment 5 for bug 1388851

I would suggest the following procedure:
- when you first load the document, use the setting for Automatic Scaling to size A4
- this will do a preliminary fit to fit the width of the page exactly.
- now interrogate the Edit->XML editor
- there should be an entry there that says svg:desc.
- this will tell you that the automatic scale was : scale = 27.590990
- since 27 was too large, now try a new import using manual scaling (uncheck the box) and a scale factor of 10 . This will give you a reasonably sized image.
