Yes, pressing the tab button works, as i discovered independently by asking a nearby teenager. He explained to me that pressing the "Tab" button forces the numbers that you type into the scale box to "take," by advancing to the next field in the dialog box. Evidently there are other programs that he uses that also require this technique. It still looks like a bug to me, but at least we can now do what we want.
This a very annoying feature of preview. Having carefully sized my artwork in Adobe Illustrator and saved as a pdf, Preview then shrinks the thing! Why does it not print the right size as specified in the pdf??
There is a very simple solution to this.....press TAB after entering the scale, hey presto you get a preview.

You are a golden god. Thanks for the help. Solution works perfectly. I thought I was going crazy and kept thinking it was me that was doing something wrong.
Leave out the $ sign. Won't work as shown.
This worked great but I'd still like the final solution so that I don't have to remember.
