It is wider than high, so would print best in landscape format. Okular opens the page well, but does print it in portrait, so the printout is much smaller than necessary. I can set rotation manually in the printer settings, but it is cumbersome and error prone. Much nicer would be a feature that automatically rotates pages to fit the paper size (like in adobe reader). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a pdf file that is landscape 2.print it 3. Actual Results: If the printer settings are set wrong (sometimes "landscape," sometimes "portrait," which makes it confusing and error prone), the printout gets either resized or croped to fit on a portrait page. Expected Results: The pdf should be rotated to fit to the page in an optimal way (at least as selectable option).
I can confirm this problem with KDE 4.7.4 and Debian packages. Actually, it's even more weird: When I click "Properties" next to the printer selection, it says that "landscape" mode is enabled. However, to properly print a landscape page, I have to change this to portrait (!). Then printing works fine, without rotating the actual pdf file.
Please attach the file you have problems printing.
As you can see from the date, the problem is quite old. Right now I don't have problems, so it could have been fixed in the meantime. If it appears again, I could reopen it.
