If I have a PDF with 0.5" margins, when I print it from Preview.app and
from Adobe Reader, I get proper margins.
When I print it from Evince, the margins get larger, the content gets
scaled.
I'm at a loss to explain it, but I know it happens on all of my
computers and printers between work and home.
Any ideas? Perhaps this is a Poppler question.
What evince version?
This is not a Poppler issue. It has been an evince issue for a long time.
If you enable EV_SCALE_SHRINK_TO_PRINTABLE_AREA or
EV_SCALE_FIT_TO_PRINTABLE_AREA, then ev_print_operation_print_draw_page
calls _print_context_get_hard_margins, which provides the hardware
margins of the printer.
The scaling is then calculated so the entire image fits inside the
printer margins.
Sometimes you want this. Sometimes you don't - if your document is
formatted at 8.5"x11", sometimes you want it to print at exactly the
right scale (100%) onto 8.5"x11" paper, with the edges trimmed off
(where printing is impossible).
evince should offer a choice. It does not, currently. Which is sad :-(
