Description Romain 2023-10-20 17:45:55 UTC
Description:
After creating a markdown file and exporting to pdf with pandoc "pandoc -V geometry:"paperwidth=148mm, paperheight=210mm, top=10mm, right=20mm, bottom=15mm, left=20mm" -V fontsize=6pt Example.md -o Example_A5.pdf"
I open the file with LibreOffice Draw and export it to pdf using the Brochure function.
The top margin is respected but the lower margin is increased.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Markdown file
2. pandoc -V geometry:"paperwidth=148mm, paperheight=210mm, top=10mm, right=20mm
3. Open with Draw, File (A4, Short Edge), Print..., Print to file, Brochure

Actual Results:
Top margin of new pdf respected but bottom margin increased

Expected Results:
Same top and bottom margin


Reproducible: Always

Repro already in 5.2. It can be seen in the preview.

Brochure changes it from portrait to landscape. Not sure if there is some limitation here with the changing dimensions.

The result is exactly the same after:
3. Open with Draw, File (A4, Short Edge), Print..., Print to file, Brochure.

I do not know if it was present in 3.3.

I remove LibreOffice installed with apt and use snap instead:

Version: 25.2.6.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 40d1a0e1d5bdf1afaeae24d9ece32bbb00fa66a4
CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.16; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

And the result is still the same.
