Hi All, I'm creating full A4-sized page background images in GIMP to insert into A4-format Writer documents. I've noticed that when these images are added to Writer and anchored to page, things are not perfectly flush as I would expect.
After a bit of tinkering I believe this is because Writer doesn't treat an A4-format page as having exactly 2480x3508 pixel dimensions (at 300 DPI). For example, my GIMP working files use the A4 300 DPI preset, which is 2480x3508 pixels. If I create a new blank Writer document using A4 page size, then export this blank document as a PNG and set the export DPI setting to 300, Writer instead displays this as 2481x3507 pixels. I see similar ever-so-slightly different results when attempting to import an A4 PDF exported from Writer into GIMP at 300 DPI, again off by a matter of pixels. Everything I've read points to 2480x3508 definitely being the dimensions for A4 (e.g. http://www.a4papersize.org/a4-paper-size-in-pixels.php). Can someone please help me understand why there is a difference in Writer?
