Description LordDan 2017-10-06 01:24:48 UTC
I want to print a document the fits the upper part of an A4 page; however, Okular just detects that a document is a horizontal rectangle and automatically chooses the "Landscape" orientation. I just am't able to configure Okular to print the way I want.
Evince options are better displayed...

Just to make sure i understand what you want you want to print a landscape in portrait so as to have a huge whitespace at the bottom?

Yes, that's right. It means paper economy. More space left = space for printing another picture (or a copy from the first one), space for annotations etc.
It's always better to offer options  :-)

Thanks for the update; changing status. This looks like a request to print multiple pages per sheet (N-up option), I did not find a duplicate request.
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2017-10-18 10:28:08 UTC
In the 'Printer Properties' dialog, there is an option to print 2 pages per sheet. Could you check if using this option helps to resolve your issue?
Comment 5 Christoph Feck 2017-10-25 13:38:27 UTC
If you can provide the information requested in comment #4, please add it.
Comment 6 Christoph Feck 2017-11-23 02:09:04 UTC
To further investigate this issue, KDE developers need the information requested in comment #4. If you can provide it, or need help with finding that information, please add a comment.

No response, changing status. If you have new information, please add a comment.
Comment 8 LordDan 2017-12-21 01:23:59 UTC
Well. The intention isn't to print 2 pages for sheet.
The request is simply to choose freely where an image should be printed (center, up, down, on landscape sheet, on portrait sheet etc...
I think that users might have more freedom to choose about this. Okular even could maintain a default behavior, however, it coud offer some options about it.
Sorry for taking long to comment.
Thanks by the attention.
