Description philip_hoflack 2011-05-28 18:28:21 UTC 
There is no option to print page borders, a feature which comes in handy when one prints multiple pages on a single sheet.
(Or I couldn't find it)

Yes, there's no such useful feature like this in evince.
Comment 2 es-lebe-der 2011-10-16 02:50:20 UTC 
Yop, this would be a really great feature. I installed first okular then Acrobat Reader just for this purpose, because printing 6 slides with white background and having no borders around them is just awful to read for me.

Oh, new to bugzilla, my comment about the patch disappeared.

I too would find this feature useful and I've cooked up a patch.
The patch adds the option to print borders around pages to the Page Handling tab.

I've only added it when printing to the cairo interface, is adding it to gtk-unix-print needed as well?

The patch prints a simple cairo_rectangle with width 0.5 around pages, if
the option is enabled.

If this feature feels relevant please try it out, comment and review at your convenience!

Thanks
Jonas

I have absolutely zero GTK knowledge, but I'm happy someone's working on it :)
