[Therion] Scaling the entire output

Hi,
I am sure I am not the only person to have this need, so I must have
missed an option or control somewhere, or just misunderstood how scaling
works.
I output the survey like this:
base-scale 1 100
scale 1 100
That makes a page 104.5 x 56.8 cm.
I need to send it to a printer company, for printing at A2 (59.4 cm
longer dimension). If I were printing this myself, I would just tick the
"scale to fit" box in the PDF app. But the printing company say that the
PDF sheet size needs to match the A2 paper size.
I can set:
base-scale 1 176
scale 1 176
And that gets the survey right. But it renders the *legend* and any
embedded map-image at the static width. I can set the size of the
legend, but then it still draws everything as if it were the old
non-scaled size.
What I want to do is to scale the actual output, the same way that a PDF
app's printing tickbox would. Is that possible?
Cheers,
Tarquin
