I'm new to Photoshop and still learning the ropes of it. So far it's really the only photo manipulation program I've used besides Paint and I am finding it a lot better. Unfortunately I'm running into a few problems that I was hoping someone here might know the answer to.
The main one is that when I open PDF files it sometimes won't allow me to open them at 8.5 x 11 inches, instead opening them too small or too large. I can get it at that size by turning off scaling, but I'm worried that doing that will cause problems with stretching the images. Does anyone have any thoughts on fixing this problem?

What size are the pdfs? Many are in A4. That might require some creative cut and paste to get it to fit. OTOH, if you can copy from the pdf, select the area and move it to a new document.
You might also try this workaround: save each pdf page as a jpg, then drop the jpg onto a new letter size document (scaling as needed).

Most of them are PDF's off of these forums or One Monk, so I don't think they're in A4. That might explain why printing the drop troopers cut off a part of them though...
I could try creating a new sheet that's 8.5x11 and copy the images over, but if I do that I'm not sure that they would be at the proper scale. Would that they remain the same relative size or would I have to find a way to scale them again after copying them.

Try modifying the resolution (DPI). Menu Image-->Image size and put the resolution in 300 dpi, this is the resolution that most of people here use in their minis. I hope it helps

try this: pdf to jpg open a model file in photoshop that you know is letter size drop the jpg into the document as a new layer (it'll do that automatically, but check just in case) that way you've got an instant comparison of scale.
