Bug ID: 163126
Summary: Brochure printing A5 pages to A4 paper doesn't scale
correctly
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.5.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
MacBook Pro (2020) running OS Sonoma 14.6.1
Epson XP-960 printer
LibreOffice 24.2.5.2
I have a Writer document consisting of four A5 portrait pages, and I wish to
print it out as a brochure on two sides of an A4 sheet.
The printer is loaded with A4 paper
In the print dialog I selected double sided "On (Short Edge)
Under the LibreOffice heading I selected “Brochure”
Under the Paper Handling heading I toggled “Scale to Fit to Paper Size” to
‘On’, selected the “Destination Paper Size” to be “A4 Borderless”, and made
sure that “Scale Down Only” was not selected.
However, when I print the document it comes out as an A5 size printout in the
middle of an A4 sheet.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create A5 document of 4 or more pages
2.Select 'Print'
3.In the 'LibreOffice' pane select brochure
4.Under 'Double-sided' select 'On (Short Edge)'
5.Under 'Paper Handling' select 'Scale to Fit Paper Size' and under
'Destination Paper Size' choose 'A4' or 'A4 Borderless'
6. Click 'Print'
Actual Results:
The printer prints a double sided brochure with the print occupying A5 size
space centred on the A4 paper.
Expected Results:
The printer should prints a double sided brochure with the print occupying the
whole of the A4 paper.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Version: 24.2.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build: bffef4ea93e59bebbeaf7f431bb02b1a39ee8a59
Environment: CPU threads: 8; OS: macOS 14.6.1
User Interface: UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: osx
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Misc: Calc: threaded
If instead of printing the document straight from the print dialog I choose
“Open in Preview” from the PDF dropdown menu at the bottom of the Print dialog,
the document opens in its brochure layout correctly in Preview, and can be
printed from there by choosing a scale factor of 141% and then selecting
'Print'
I am also finding that when I have printed using steps 1 to 6 above when I
return to LibreOffice it has frozen and I have to Force Quit and relaunch
