1. Printing size

Gimp will import a PDF at 100 ppi by default. The PDF properties indicate that
the size is 124 mm x 92 mm (biz card maybe).  For printing quality, open the PDF
with a ppi of 300

2. A template

Attached. Opens straight up in Gimp. Put your image on the bottom layer. Turn
off visibility on the top layer before exporting to whatever format your
Printing Company requires. (TIFF, jpeg ..)
