Well, then I'd say everything is okay from the sight of programming logic.
Drawing basically happens in drawing units and drawing preferences define the measuring units.
So for LibreCAD the drawing was 1414" width, what explains the issue. And with units set to mm the unit conversion between drawing and paper size worked.

When you generally draw in mm and print on Inch paper size, I recommend to change the empty.dxf default template preferences to fix this permanently.
If the drawing is not yours, you should check this setting generally on drawings from that source.
In case you do regularly drawings in mm and Inch I recommend at least 2 templates, one with mm and one with Inch units set.
