Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
Background: In my everyday work at the university I often have to print
pdf files that contain "powerpoint slides" from course presentations
etc. Those slides are usually a) in landscape orientation and b) use
huge fonts. One typically wants to print four of this slides per sheed
of paper.
The problem: I use evince-0.7 on Ubuntu Feisty to print my pdf files. In
the print dialogue I can choose to print 4-on-1. Nice. But the pages
appear in an hard to read order on the sheed.
Expected result
---------------------------------------------------
| sheed of paper (landscape) |
| -------------------- --------------------- |
| | page 1 | | page3 | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| -------------------- --------------------- |
| --------------------- -------------------- |
| | page 2 | | page 4 | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| --------------------- --------------------- |
---------------------------------------------------
Result with evince-0.7
---------------------------------------------------
| sheed of paper (landscape) |
| -------------------- --------------------- |
| | page 3 | | page 1 | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| -------------------- --------------------- |
| --------------------- -------------------- |
| | page 4 | | page 2 | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| --------------------- --------------------- |
---------------------------------------------------
The reason might be, that evince threads the pages / sheed as portrait mode
when I use 4-on-1 printing.
The actual result is the same as:
-------------------------------------
| sheed of paper (portrait) |
| ------------ ------------- |
| | page 1 | | page 2 | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| -------------- ----------- |
| ------------ ----------- |
| | page 3 | | page 4 | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| ------------ ------------- |
-------------------------------------
As you can see there is quite some room for improvements to printing
multiple pages per sheed
