Hi All, First up, thanks for the great product you guys have developed. I work for De Bortoli Wines, an Australian winemaking company and we are in the process of rolling out KDE (4.9.5 on Ubuntu 12.10) to replace Gnome 2 on approximately 170 desktops. I'm encountering an issue with Okular which I need fixed, unfortunately it exists in the bugtracker under several different guises:
* Bug 319476 [1] - feature request: fit to printable area * Bug 276042 [2] - Okular not zoom to max page dimension when printing * Bug 196590 [3] - [PDF 4.3beta2 regression] bad margins, printing cuts off parts of the document As a company, we've had a previous success[4] with the freedomsponsors.org bounty model, and I'm hoping to try it out again but due to the number of similar issues currently open in the bugtracker, I'm having difficulty determining which (if any) most accurately represents the issue I'm experiencing and which is most likely to yield a successful result. I'm hoping you guys, as the team that is likely to do the work, will be able to help me out - My Issue (in detail): When I print pdf documents from Okular with content that reaches the edge of the paper, the edges are being cut off due to the printer not being able to do edge to edge printing. The page should be shrunk to fit within the printable area reported by the printer. I have created some test documents doing both height and width "oversizing". I've then used Okular, Evince and Adobe Acrobat Reader to open and send them to printers (HP Colour Laserjet 3700 and Xerox DocuCentre IV C3370 - ie low and high end printers, completely different drivers). In all cases, printing from okular cuts off any edges that extend beyond the printer's "printable area". In all cases, printing from evince and acroread shrink the document to fit the printer's "printable area" and provide the results I'm expecting. I've scanned my results as supporting evidence, you can find that here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9alWVS6_yz4RFRpR1RWRTFzMms/edit?usp=sharing I've also uploaded the sample reference files[5] (created in, and exported to pdf from inkscape) I am running an up-to-date Ubuntu 12.10 with Okular reported as v0.15.5, and libpoppler28 v0.20.4-0ubuntu1.2 I have also tested (okular only) on the latest Ubuntu 13.10 release with Okular v0.17.2 and libpoppler43 v0.24.1-0ubuntu1, with the same incorrect results. My Offer: The bounty I'm offering is AUD$300 (USD$289.44 currently). It's not peanuts, hence the need to make sure it winds up attached to the correct bug, hence my post here :) Thanks for your time - Bernard Gray ----------------- [1] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319476 [2] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276042 [3] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196590 [4] http://freedomsponsors.org/core/issue/316/allow-filesave-with-password-for-xlsx-and-other-not-libreoffice-xml-based-formats [5] https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9alWVS6_yz4cHYxdkdIcUREWWM/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9alWVS6_yz4Z1dQemx1ZXIxRFk/edit?usp=sharing _______________________________________________ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel
