What is the standard measurement unit used in pdf after the transformation? pdf doesn't really have units at all, it always works (like postscript) to a local coordinate system that may be scaled/rotated at will, but defaults to points (or at least big points: 1/72 in rather than 1/72.27 in) However this isn't your problem as the FO spec clearly allows you to use cm as a unit, and it is the job of the FO system to produce some suitable PDF to represent that. You did not give any description of what was wrong with your measurements. A common problem with measurements in pdf files is that people print from acrobat while leaving its checkbox option to enlarge or shrink the page to fit the paper checked. This of course will change any lengths (and font sizes). However it wasn't clear from your description if the whole table was uniformly the wrong size (which is probably an acrobat scaling problem as above) or if some parts of the table had unexpected sizes, in which case you probably left some FO objects with default or "auto" sizing but it's hard to say...
