--- Comment #10 from Malcolm Duckett <[email protected]> ---
I have reopened this as the last comments from the developer seemed not to
understand my explanation of the problem/issue. Sorry, so I am trying again

As the manual page referenced explains "Distribute on multiple sheets of paper
Prints a large format document, such as a poster or banner, by distributing the
document page across multiple sheets of paper. The distribution option
calculates how many sheets of paper are needed. You can then piece together the
sheets"

The produce currently does not work as you cannot piece the resulting pieces
together (look at my sample draw file and the pdf it makes, and try it for
yourself.

I THINK the problem is caused because when distributing the output across
multiple pages the "printer function" needs to understand that to print an Ax
sheet on multiple Ax-1 pages the paper orientation will need to be the OPPOSITE
of the original document...

 so... 

for example to correctly distribute a LANDSCAPE A2 document over two A3 pieces
of paper they will need to be printed in a PORTRAIT orientation.

Sorry for not explaining this well enough last time. Also it might be helpful
to know that this occurs irrespective of the printer chosen.
