Create & export drawings at actual size for laser cutting

I've used this fantastic tool (https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/3910/auto-layout-feature) to lay out my box parts for laser cutting. I now have the parts laid out in a drawing, but seemingly tiny.

Is there a way I can maintain the correct dimensions when exporting to a PDF/DXF etc? Not sure if PDF can actually have exact dimensions, I've previously used DXF to laser cut, but the machine I'm using this time only takes PDFs.

Here's the box model for reference: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/5887985fa86c870fc61cd848/w/352450277873c1b3c9c00e30/e/b52bcb373a0f46234b60408a
