Technical drawing with specific dimensions

When printing a PDF with a technical drawing, the resulting print's dimensions
are off by ~3,5%, whereas other programs (e.g. Inkscape) print the same PDF
with correct dimensions.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a PDF with drawings with a specific size
2. Print the file with a printer
3. Measure the resulting dimensions

OBSERVED RESULT
Dimensions are off by ~3,5% (8.3mm vs. the correct 8.6mm).

EXPECTED RESULT
Dimensions are correct (within margins of error regarding resolution of
PDF/printer).

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7
KDE Frameworks Version:  5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
* Could not reproduce by just printing the PDF again as a PDF, has to be
printed with a printer.
* Dimensions in the attached PDF can be verified by importing it in an
appropriate program (e.g. Inkscape)
