Description M-Rick 2023-05-02 10:35:09 UTC
Description:
In macOS, it is possible to export natively a document as PDF and set the document size in the print settings. Unfortunately, this option isn't available in LibreOffice mac.
I want to export a document in A3 by associating A4 pages. It is a very great feature available only in LibreOffice. It's work perfactly in Linux or Windows, but in macOS it is impossible to change the final document size that will be A4 by defaut.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Calc spreadsheet and make several printing areas equivalent to a single A4 page (or American letter for imperial). 

2. Print the document, in the settings, enable 2 pages by documents and set as A3 to keep the original A4 size.

3. Save as PDF or print on a printer that supports A3 size.

Actual Results:
In macOS, LibreOffice reduce the page and add a large margin.

Expected Results:
Should have 2 A4 pages side-by-side on a single A3 sheet.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I indicated the latest LibreOffice release, but it happens in every versions.

Reproduced.
Even with "scale to fit paper size" off, which reduces the white margins, there is still a margin left and the result does not match the preview.
I have been using the "PDF" button at the bottom of the dialog.
