Description Hans de Graaff 2006-10-21 08:07:07 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I have a PDF file which is in landscape mode. When starting evince with this file it shows correctly as a landscape A4 document (showing A5 pages side-by-side). When printing this document the pages are printed as A4 portrait, giving me only half of the page and a lot of whitespace. I could not find any setting in the print settings or the page setup to manually change the orientation.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download the PDF file: http://www.ns.nl/servlet/Satellite?cid=1076347961117&pagename=www.ns.nl%2FTocht%2FTochtDetail&p=1069240372056&c=Tocht
The documents are at the bottom of the page. You want to get the "Routebeschrijving"

2. Open in evince
3. Print


Actual results:
The document is printed in A4 portrait mode.

Expected results:
The document should be printed sideways, in A4 landscape mode, so that the whole page is actually printed.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
I would be best if evince would just do the right thing, but I would also be happy to have an option to change orientation. Given the fact that evince properly opens and displays the file on screen I doubt that the PDF file is in error, but it might still be nice to overrule this manually by selecting orientation.

I can confirm the problem with Evince 0.6.1.

I've just fixed it in cvs head. Evince has now a page setup dialog. 

Thanks for the report.
