Priority: medium
Bug ID: 83250
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: PRINTING / FORMATTING: Booklet Printing doesn't honor
paper size.
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Reporter: jeff...@mikels.cc
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.3.0.4 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
I frequently want to print booklets, and the booklet printing feature of
OpenOffice was always one of my favorites from years ago; however, it has never
worked correctly on my Mac, and I've been waiting for it to get fixed. Here is
the problem and how you can reproduce it (sizes below are in inches):
Set up your printer with 8.5x11 (US Letter) paper.
Set up a document with a page format of 5.5x8.5 (US Statement).
Put enough text in the document to make sure there are at least a couple of
pages in the document.
Open the print dialog and select brochure mode.
After selecting brochure mode, the paper size gets changed to "Legal" and this
can be verified by either printing or selecting "Open PDF in Preview."
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
Since 5.5x8.5 is exactly half the size of 8.5x11, selecting brochure mode
should print two-up on 8.5x11. I assume that some internal calculation is
attempting to account for margins and determines that 8.5x11 is too small to
contain the original pages, but this should not be. The end user should be
responsible for using sane margins with respect to the capabilities of the
printer, and the application should simply print 2-up.
