Description Jens-D Doll 2022-03-29 09:30:34 UTC
Description:
I have a presentation of 1 page and set the size to A4 landscape, i.e. 29 x 21 cm ** 2. Printing it directly works fine, but when I export it to a *.pdf the size is wrong: 8,27 x 11,69 inches. Maybe the problem occurs because of language features...

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a presentation of type Nature Illustration
2. delete second slide
3. make first slide A4 size and landscape
4. export the page to a *.pdf 

Actual Results:
letter size

Expected Results:
A4 size


Reproducible: Always

But 8,27 x 11,69 inches is 20,98 x 29,7 cm. It's the A4 format

Letter format has 8.5 × 11 inches size

...it only appears if the paragraphs are centered...
Comment 4 Telesto 2022-03-31 12:28:36 UTC
Hmm, I'm able to reproduce it now.. (this exactly the same as bug 146387)

1. Open Impress (EU Locale, my case Dutch)
2. Set slide dimension to A4
3. Press Print button
4. Print to PDF printer -> in my case output will be 20,99 x 29,70
5. Press PDF export button -> Output will be also 20,99

If I skip the Print to PDF printer part, it's functioning fine..

Dear Jens-D Doll,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
