Hello Johnny
What does it look like if you follow these steps:
1. Open "kopekontrakt_bilar.pdf"
2.Make some arbitrary changes just to make sure that the pdf plugin has
done something.
3. Export the resulting Draw document to a PDF.
4. Open the resulting PDF in the PDF viewer of your choice.

I did exactly the above four steps.  I changed one word on the second
page.  Here is the resulting PDF:
http://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/kopekontrakt_bilar2.pdf

I agree that when your PDF (or any other that I have tried) is opened
up using this plugin, that it looks really bad.  In fact, "Format |
Page | Page" shows the following information:
Format: A4
Margins:
        Left: 1.18"
        Right: 0.39"
        Top: 0.63"
        Bottom: 0.39"

This looked really bad.  BUT, the resulting PDF seems to look perfect.
The margins are certainly nothing like Draw reported them to be.

some info about our system:
        Operating System: Fedora Linux 9
        OpenOffice.org Version: DEV300_m33 Build-1
