I just spent the $22 for Matthias Wandel’s Big Print program from here: https://woodgears.ca/bigprint/
I bought it because I will be doing a lot of scaling or printing to scale. For me, it is the only program like this and I felt like contributing to his work.
If you have anything that you need to scale just post below and I will scale it and upload the scale either by pdf or on the image.

Cool find. I print things often at scale and just use acrobat, but alignment is always hard. The grid feature on this looks much better.

I bought it too. A tool worth having on hand.

It has a free mode that enables you to use all the features except print. The print feature will print but with a watermark. The watermark however renders the print useless. But you can calibrate the scale on the image and then you can use the measure tool to find any dimensions on the image.
Matthias Wandel does some really cool and interesting stuff. Good contribution @Sharpsburg_Woodworke
Wish it was available on Linux… I will have to look for an equivalent.
Here is an example. I took this mickey and measured set the top of his hat to his foot at 47.5 inches. I printed the image to pdf. Attached is the mickey and the pdf that is printed.

We are basically using Maslow for the same thing. Is this to scale for the cut? Or for lining for painting after the cut?

Both can be done of you want.

Be careful. Disney has a reputation for being really protective of their intellectual property.
