I have a PDF of building schematics. I would like to load it into MATLAB, and visualize the image via a GUI, so I can measure distances and such for some calculations.

I have no idea if this is even possible?

Furthermore, the PDF has an embedded scale (i.e. 1 cm = 1 meter). If I can extract this as well, that would be awesome.

I found extractFileText which can be used to extract text, but not much else.

I found the easiest way to do this was to convert the pdf to a image, for example using imagemagick. See this question

If you add an example of the image someone might be able to suggest some ideas for extracting the scale information using image processing.
