Description Ville Aakko 2006-08-27 23:22:42 UTC
There is a feature to print several pages per sheet in kpdf. If I choose a landscape orientation, the page order is wrong, like this:

4--1     
3--2 

or

16--12--8--4
15--11--7--3
14--10--6--2
13---9--5--1

Instead, I would like:

1--2
3--4

or

1--2--3--4
5--6--7--8
9--10-11-12

I was able to "fix" this by adding '-l' into the filter command line (of course I need to remove it every time I print in portrait orientation with this filter, I'd assume). Maybe this can be fixed so that KPDF automatically adds '-l' when the page is landscape? I have no idea how to do that, but for somebody with more experience this could be a trivial change.

Also, as a sidenote, I would like to add:

- the need of a psnup useflag somewhere (see the forum post) 

- the filter should use a number value for the number of pages (i.e. minumum value 2 (or 1) and maximum  16, or maybe even 32 or 64?) instead of the current list of values (i.e. options of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 16 are the only selections available, even though there is no such limitation for the number of pages printable pere sheet in psnup). This is alse a trivial change.

Oops I did it again ;)

Of course, I should have noticed that bug is a dublicate of this one. It wasn't clear from the gentoo bug but from the link to the bug in kde.org it was clear that his problem, too, is caused by the poppler thingie. Sorry.
