Description Freek de Kruijf 2017-03-14 21:45:19 UTC
I have a Writer document with 24 A5 pages of which I need to make a PDF file in brochure layout. When I generate it via printing to a file I get a PDF file with the proper layout, however the page characteristic of the file is A5, where I would expect an A4.

When generating the PDF file in brochure layout using cups-pdf I get a PDF file with pages which are a mix of portrait and landscape oriented pages. Using the utility pdfmod I can make all pages with the the same orientation. However printing without rescaling gives an A5 on A4 paper size.

Unfortunately I am unable to produce a test document which shows the problem. I cannot publish the document. Is it possible to send it to you directly?
