Description a 2024-01-25 17:18:57 UTC
Let's say you have 6 pages with drawings including curves and geometrical figures. You want to print them on one page and select 6 pages per sheet to see 6 thumbnails. On printed version f.ex. the thumbnail of page 1 contains some objects correctly downscaled to the thumbnail. But, some of the graphics seem to retain size of the original page and be just cropped by thumbnail border. Have an impression that this happens above all to curves objects where you can control points and arbitrary shapes.
So, if you have a circle in page 1 and try to print a 6-thumbnail sheet in the first thumbnail you will have only an short arc of the circle of original size, but not the full small circle.
When exporting to pdf, all objects are scaled correctly.
Problem exists with several printers (at least three canon printers), with various linux distros (Fedora 28 till 39) and with different versions of the office from 6.5 or something till the last one.
My bet is on the scaling of the envelope of curves when selecting multiple pages per sheet.
Given that more and more printing is done with A3 and documents summary, problem starts to be rather annoying and any help is appreciated

Kind regards
