Seth, Yes, these templates are sized specifically for certain page sizes as defined in the ISO specification. And also for particular sheet orientations. So in Eeschema, the user needs to select the page size and orientation that match the template in order for the scaling to be proper and the template to be rendered such that it meets the ISO specification.
Even if manual work is required to properly use these tempates, perhaps it might be useful to still include them? In addition, during the review of the templates we discovered limitations such as what you mentioned above. I can understand if the best solution for now is only a stopgap, and I'm happy to submit a feature request for an enhancement for this area of Eeschema, with the details to be sorted out later as to not derail the main objective of this message. Thank you!
