Description Jerry S 2021-03-12 21:18:54 UTC 
SUMMARY
When I go to Print Creator it defaults to Print to PDF.  The problem is the Page Settings button does nothing.  On linux it works.  This means to change the paper size, etc, I have to select a different printer.  Microsoft Print to Pdf works fine as does Master PDF Editor 5.  Both of the latter printers allow changing the settings.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select photos to print
2. Select Print Creator
3. Default Printer is Print to PDF

OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT
Page Settings button should work on all printers.

Maik,

I confirm this dysfunction also under MacOS. Perhaps there is a signal/slots broken on non Linux system?

Maik,

When Page Setting button is clicked on the tool, this slot is called :

I suspect a problem with QPageSetupDialog:

@Jerry S,


This problem still reproducible with the new digiKam 8.2.0 pre-release Windows
installer available at usual place:

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

This new bundle is based on last Qt framework 5.15.11 and KDE framework 5.110.

Thanks in advance

Maik,

Problem remain with 8.2.0 VCPKG installer. DebugView said :

Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'.

Under Windows print directly to PDF is not a native format, in opposite to Linux and MacOS.
A specific PDF generator must be installed under Windows as a virtual printer driver.
PDF is now not available as output format under Windows.
