Description Richard Bos 2006-12-07 23:27:17 UTC 
Version:           1.6.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

it is not possible when printing a presention to have it printed
in portrait mode.  This would be handy when multiple slides are
to be printed on 1 page.
It looks like kpresenter has this hard coded to always print
to landscape :(

I can confirm that printing is a problem.
Testcase with kpresenter (1:1.6.1-2) from Debian/unstable:
(German localisation)

Start a new presentation selecting from A4 - single column.
Enter a title and a few lines on the first slide.
Check under format-> page layout that A4 and landscape is selected.
Try print preview: Already looks strange, wrong aspect ratio.
Print to pdf: look at it with xpdf: it is clearly not landscape. 
See attached pdf.

Looking at the dialog in 2.2.2 it seems that portrait and landscape are reversed. They work for me but click portrait and I get a landscape page and vice versa.

same issue in trunk
Comment 5 John Goodman 2010-10-31 23:54:05 UTC 
To clarify:
select layout landscape EXPORT pdf and you get a full page portrait pdf with no white margin.

select layout landscape PRINT pdf and you get a full page portrait pdf WITH a white margin.

select layout portrait export pdf and you get a full page landscape pdf with no white margin.

select layout portrait PRINT pdf and you get a full page portrait pdf with white margin and white space to accommodate the differing aspect ratio.

This is a rather old bug. 

I can not reproduce Calligra Stage anymore, i.e. slides get printed on page format as selected in the printing dialog.  

I just stumbled across this report, since PDF export still has landscape and portrait modes reversed. 
Should I file a new bug for this, and you close this one here?
