Description Bryan Paradis 2022-01-07 08:15:56 UTC
Created attachment 177364 [details]
draw document and pictures of each page preview 1-5

Libre Office Draw
Version: 7.2.5.2 x64 (Version not listed in available list?)

"Distribute on multiple sheets of paper" option does not break up the image into chunks properly and changes the scaling in an odd way. I went to create a banner that is 4 x Letter in landscape.

I installed OpenOffice 4.1.11 x86 and opened the document selected "Distribute on multiple sheets of paper" and it previewed and printed 100%.

There is another report of the problem here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-to-print-large-image-across-multiple-pages-in-draw/56971 dated September 2020. So it's been broken for a while. I have not done any bisection.

Attached are the pictures of the preview screen for pages 1 - 5 and the original draw document I was working with.

I can not confirm with Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: bd5492275d31f59b1d269205018d1487af52426f
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.11; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: cs-CZ (cs_CZ.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded Jumbo

Seems to be fixed with dev version. Please could you test it with
dev version?  You can download it here:

Thanks raal.

I can confirm that in the daily dev build the issue is not present. I have included a comparison image of 7.2.5.2 (left) and dev (right) for posterity.
