Description Simon Schmidig 2005-07-09 14:07:44 UTC 
Distribution/Version: FC4

The default format on my system is A4. When I try/choose in the menu to print a
A3  file, evince scale the the print to A4. I can't say to evince print to 1:1.
Comment 1 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-07-11 10:54:43 UTC 
Does it work in other gnome apps like gedit for example?
Comment 2 Simon Schmidig 2005-07-11 13:51:05 UTC 
There is no problem with gedit and A3 or ather format.
Comment 3 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-07-11 14:23:30 UTC 
Martin, any idea about this one?
Comment 4 Martin Kretzschmar 2005-07-11 15:36:27 UTC 
We don't do anything with the paper size setting yet. We just get the PostScript
from poppler (equivalent to calling "pdftops file.pdf" where pdftops comes from
the xpdf package). For PostScript, we just take the existing PostScript. Don't
know about TIFF.

Then we hand that PostScript over to gnome-print, using a function that's only
available if you #define foobarUNSTABLEbaz. gedit uses normal gnome-print API
which honors paper size etc. automatically.

I guess we have to pass the paper size setting over to poppler, add some scaling
commands to the generated PostScript then print that. Same for TIFF. For
PostScript... I guess it's possible to write a post processor that inserts the
correct commands before and after the pages.

This happens to me in a different way: I have a letter pdf which I can't print
in evince because it outputs letter (despite the fact that A4 is set in the
printer dialog), and I don't have any letter paper. for reference it works in xpdf

This bug should be fixed in recent versions.
