In the occasion you experience problems getting the scale correct in generated pdf of imported drawings, it might be because you did not know about this setting; UseStandardScale.
This applies in the situation where there is a difference on scale when rendering pdf of drawings manually via the PLOT dialog and using Fit To Paper compared to using the PDF-setting ScaleType=ScaleToFit. A likely cause is that the drawing you imported have custom scale.
When using the PLOT dialog AutoCAD takes additional measures for you and additional settings are adjusted when plotting.
To get the same expected result out of ScaleType when calling AutoCAD Core Console one need to specify UseStandardScale=True.
Hence you might need to add UseStandardScale to your PDF-settings for ScaleType to do what you think it does.
Example configuration:
Plotter=DWG To PDF.pc3,
MediaName=ISO_full_bleed_A3_(420.00_x_297.00_MM),
PlotStyle=monochrome.ctb,
OffsetX=0,
OffsetY=0,
Center=True,
Rotation=0,
WhatToPlot=Extents,
ScaleType=ScaleToFit,
UseStandardScale=True
