Title: improve evince-gtk printing of multiple LANDSCAPE pages per sheed Status in Evince document viewer: Fix Released Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: evince Background: In my everyday work at the university I often have to print pdf files that contain "powerpoint slides" from course presentations etc. Those slides are usually a) in landscape orientation and b) use huge fonts. One typically wants to print four of this slides per sheed of paper. The problem: I use evince-0.7 on Ubuntu Feisty to print my pdf files. In the print dialogue I can choose to print 4-on-1. Nice. But the pages appear in an hard to read order on the sheed. Expected result --------------------------------------------------- | sheed of paper (landscape) | | -------------------- --------------------- | | | page 1 | | page3 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | -------------------- --------------------- | | --------------------- -------------------- | | | page 2 | | page 4 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --------------------- --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- Result with evince-0.7 --------------------------------------------------- | sheed of paper (landscape) | | -------------------- --------------------- | | | page 3 | | page 1 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | -------------------- --------------------- | | --------------------- -------------------- | | | page 4 | | page 2 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --------------------- --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- The reason might be, that evince threads the pages / sheed as portrait mode when I use 4-on-1 printing. The actual result is the same as: ------------------------------------- | sheed of paper (portrait) | | ------------ ------------- | | | page 1 | | page 2 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | -------------- ----------- | | ------------ ----------- | | | page 3 | | page 4 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ------------ ------------- | ------------------------------------- As you can see there is quite some room for improvements to printing multiple pages per sheed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/121524/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
