Description Germano Massullo 2013-07-11 10:41:48 UTC 
I am trying to print a PDF document that is much smaller than A4 paper size. I need it to be printed at full A4 size, but Okular print settings does not have such option. Gwenview instead, has it.

Reproducible: Always

AFAIK, Okular does stretch/scale pages by default now, so I think the behaviour is as requested here, s.a. bug 319476. (I just tested with an A5 document and it was scaled to A4 as expected when using A4 as ouput media size.)

On the contrary, there are requests to make that configurable, but that is handled in 336617 - so I think this bug can be closed as fixed now.

I am reopening this bugreport. To reproduce:
1) Download
https://climatizzazione.mitsubishielectric.it/uploads/document/catalogo-residenziale_2021_4930.pdf
2) in Okular page selection set page 23 of 64
3) Print -> Current page -> Properties A3 format (I have setted A3 also in printer system settings) -> PDF Options: scale option: adapt to page

Instead of printing an A3 page with its content stretched to the page size, Okular has printed the page as an A4 format. I also tried with Evince and it prints correctly instead.

I also tried with Okular, to print to a PDF and this time the A3 page contains a proper A3 sized document. So I am wondering if the problem originated by Okular, or Qt, or CUPS.

I am available to run any necessary test for better investigating the problem.

Thank you
