I printed from the ActCAD file to my Canon and it was perfect. Then saved as the .pdf to Inkscape and got the result described- basically the circle bounded by the square
Errors in AutoCAD can be divided into two broad categories, the error related to the CAD file and error related to the Software itself. If the issues are related to corrupt CAD files then you can easily repair corrupt AutoCAD drawings using simple AutoCAD commands.

Thanks for your comments. I use ActCAD not AutoCAD although it is very similar. It seems to me that the problem is in Inkscape for the fact that the original drawing has no square around the circle and that I can print to my inkjet with none.

Why not use DXF, the standard exchange format for 2D cad? PDF is a printing/display format.
I found a simple method by using Output-Plot-AutoCadpdf with Extents and 1:1 scale. Thanks for your input
