Description Mamonetti 2010-12-09 22:21:19 UTC

Version:           0.11.2 (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

Depending on the usage of okular it might be interesting. For example, at work today i needed to create a pdf file including some non contiguous pages of an existing one (print to pdf), but afaik this can't be done right now with okular. In the end i had to use another app for this..


Reproducible: Always

i was just looking for the same feature, but on opensuse (not that it matters)

though, atm, n/a in Okular, Acrobat Reader does.

nice to have as a page spec in print dialog, e.g.:

     32,42-57,72

and/or shift-click to select multiple page thumbnails in Okular, then print-selected ...

IIRC selecting "Selection" from the "Print Range" groupbox in the print dialog, should print the currently bookmarked pages.

Pino, didn't realize that -- thanks.  that _does_ seem to work for the point-n-click selection approach.

Comment 4 Mamonetti 2011-01-04 17:12:31 UTC

I don't think that is the right way to handle this. It forces you to (un)mark the pages, and that might be a problem if you need to print hundreds, for example.

Comment 5 _ 2011-01-04 18:28:32 UTC

you should be able to simply go into the bookmarks tab, and delete the whole lot all at once ... no one-by-one "un-marking" required.

Comment 6 Jaak Ristioja 2011-03-21 14:02:07 UTC

This is very bad. In what KDE version did this change? I'm thinking of downgrading just to print my pages properly (print to pdf, non-contiguous, multiple pages per sheet). I know that at least in KDE3 the print dialog was proper: http://www.layt.net/john/blog/odysseus/a_quick_look_at_the_new_qt_44_print_dialog

This bug is duplicate of

isn`t it?

Comment 8 Albert Astals Cid 2012-10-03 18:34:32 UTC

Maybe, maybe not, people use bugs like this one to report all sort of different issues, so they become basically unfixable, i'll duplicate it anyway
