Newbie: heavy pdf scaling and cleaning

Hello,
I have a heavy pdf-file (which causes performance problems even in inkscape) with several ground plans each in it.
And need to:
-wipe out unnecessary stuff to make it lighter
-scale it to certain scale
-export results to svg

Is this possible/advisable with your program? How do I acchieve that then as a beginner?
Tia

Ps:
I just found:
http://linuxaideddesign.blogspot.de/2011/08/how-to-work-with-pdf-files-with-ares.html
pstoedit -f dxf filename.pdf filename.dxf
pstoedit -f dxf_s filename.pdf
With that one can produce the dfx, with which librecad can be feeded. Good idea?

It would help if you told us what OS you use, no ?

Hello Ron,
I just installed librecad on Win7 (recommended version from the website) and watched some video tutorials about it.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB9CB29692D89976A 
So I am mainly more content with it than with inkscape. Maybe you could anyway drop a comment on the workflow procedure, which import or export formats one could use, ..

-What is missing and what I am still searching for:

First an most important:
Can I and then how do I get the measured values (info or dimensions) to the clipboard in order to save them in an spreadsheet file?

And then: Can one use librecad from a script?

Ps: I now found a work around for the info output, which selectabe but not copyable. I used it from linux, where everything selected goes directly to the clipboard. Hopefully there is another solution.

I added a context menu for this:

basically, you can right click and do Copy.
