Description Laurent Balland 2011-08-23 13:23:12 UTC
Hello,

This is continuation of OOo issue 117103:
Print order for slides in handouts mode is not set properly
http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117103

To reproduce:
- open or create a presentation with more than one page
- File > Print
- tab General, choose "Handouts" for Document
=> Whatever the number of slides per page, Order option has no effect. For instance for Default (Handout layout was 6 per page) order is top to down. If you change to 6, order is left to right.

Configuration: OOo 3.3.0, LibO 3.3.4, LibO 3.4.2
Comment 1 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2011-08-24 02:47:55 UTC
I see the effect with "LibreOffice 3.4.3 RC1 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO340m1 (Build:301)]". Printing with selected 'Print -> Document=Handout' selection of "Order" picker is without influence, using sample from OOo bug I always get
1 4
2 5 
3 6

What is quite the opposite from the result in the OOo report. 

With OOo 3.1.1 printing works as expected:
"Horizontal"
1 2
3 4
5 6

"Vertical"
1 4
2 5 
3 6

Already a problem  with "LibreOffice Portable 3.3.3  - WIN7  Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (Build:301  Tag 3.3.3.1)]", so I modify 

Still a problem with Master "LibO-dev 3.4.5 – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) English UI [(Build ID:d337f79-a24c961-2865670-9752b71-7f8fd43

Since all new unconfirmed bugs start in state UNCONFIRMED now and old unconfirmed bugs were moved to NEEDINFO with a explanatory comment, all bugs promoted above those bug states to NEW and later are automatically confirmed making the CONFIRMED whiteboard status redundant. Thus it will be removed.

Comment 5 Rob Snelders 2012-11-06 22:15:07 UTC
I have found a workaround. When you set the option of the number of slides on 1 page then it respects that option. So just set the number of slides from default to 6 then it works.

Tested with 3.5.4 and 3.7.0.0
Comment 6 Rob Snelders 2012-11-06 22:15:33 UTC
3.7.0.0 should be 3.7.0.0-master

Thank you, but this does not really solve my problem, since when I modify the size/position of each slide in the handout mode it is not reflected when printing in slide mode with 6 slides/page. I don't know if there is a mean to set the size and position of each slide on the page in the 6 slides/page printing mode (in fact I suppose if it was possible, the print handout option would not be necessary at all).

Tested with 3.6.2.2 on 32 bit Linux

Bump - bug still present in LibreOffice 4.0.4.2.

This is quite an annoying bug and (in theory) doesn't sound too hard to fix. If someone can point me in the right direction (e.g., files where the UI dialog and the print routine are) I may be able to help.

Still present in 4.2.2 RC 1
Comment 12 Cor Nouws 2014-07-05 21:48:55 UTC
In any case the print preview in 4.2.5 shows the change in order, when having 4 slides per page..
Comment 13 Laurent Balland 2014-12-03 20:58:39 UTC

@sergio.callegari@gmail.com Could you check your procedure, because I do not reproduce with your version:
1. Open https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=75928
2. File > Print
3. Select: Print: Document > Handouts
Order indicates "Left to right, then down" and preview shows pages in the correct order (page 2 is in top right position)
