Bug 7506

Hi!
this is due to the fact that kghostview assumes "legal" instead of A4 .
A4 display is correct.
IMOH the legal/A4 issue is a SHIP STOPPER
most / all of the european KDE users going to have problems with format 
defaulting to legal.

Hi!
if it would default to legal more documents could be displayed
but it defaults to letter - that's the problem
(I got confused with all the formats ...)

I have on my harddisk (as I do with most of the files related to bugs). I k=

what's causing the bug and I'll try to fix it for KDE3.0.

Thanks for the offer greetings

Hello Ferdinand

I have made another try to fix this bug and as far as I can see it's not=20
possible to fix it in KGhostView. It would require changes to Ghostscript's=
=20
X11 driver. From what I understood from the Ghostscript people the way the=
=20
orientation is set by the X11 predates Ghostscript's PDF support and that'=
s=20
causing the problem. My plans for the future (I don't have a timeline for=
=20
that) are to add support for Ghostscript's display driver. That would give =
a=20
solution for the problem.

Greetings
Wilco

KGhostView 0.13.2 in KDE 3.1.0

SuSE 8.1 
 
I tried to verify this bug but the URL 
http://www.zamg.ac.at/klima/moue_hist/2000/07/WIEWARS.PDF 
is no longer valid. I tested various pdf documents using different paper sizes and 
orientations and Kghostview worked just fine. 

the links to the file is a bit hidden now

A pdf that doesn't display correctly

This bug shouldn't be closed yet.  I'm still having problems with it with
current stable versions of KDE (3.1.3).

In addition to this attachment, I also have this PDF stored semi-permanently at
the following:
http://rhorn.unixcab.org/CSClub%20advertisement.pdf

That link shouldn't go stale since it's on my web site.  It may go stale if
this bug is actually resolved.
