Description Ingo Mai 2008-10-26 19:03:33 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I needed to use a different page format for a PDF file. I used "Page Setup" and "Printer Setup" to set the right page format (a user defined one), but GIMP is always the standard format (which happens to be A4). I thought it could be a bug in PDFCreator so I installed two more PDF-printers including the original one from adobe - all with the same result. 
Finnaly I'm using a workaround - exporting to JPG and then print the file to PDF Destiller using IrfanView, so it is obviuosly a bug in GIMP.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use "Page Setup" to change the paper format
2. Print the image to a PDF File
3. Open the file with adobe acrobat reader and press Control-D: It will show the wrong page format


Actual results:
You will see a differnt page format in the pdf-file 

Expected results:
...see the page format I've choosen in GIMP

Does this happen every time?
yes

> What operating system are you using?

Windows Vista. Same problem appears on XP and is independant of the PDF-software I'm using (tried PDFcreator, Adobe Acrobat Pro, PDFbrewer).
