Using LibreOffice Draw 4.0.4.2 on Ubuntu. I try the following: 1. Create a new document 2. Use Format>Page to set it as A5 3. Create a big red rectangle on the whole page 4. Go to Print 5. Open properties for my printer and select A5 format in Landscape mode. 6. Select Page Layout>Page per sheet=2 7. Back to general, select Pages "1,1" This should make the preview a full red pages since 2 copies of A5 document (red rectange) fit in the A4 sheet. Instead of this, I get 2 resized rectangles separated by some space. The behaviour already looks awkward at step 5: the single rectange gets placed stangely and cropped whereas one would expect it either at the middle of the page or at the left, but not cropped. The same process as explained above works fine with Writer. This bug seems specific to Draw.
Hi I think you can get what you want with step 8: File> Print> LibreOffice Draw tab, Size: Fit to printable page And I'm not sure to understand your step 5 (you want to print 2 A5 on A4) In my opinion this step can be omitted. Does that answer your question ? I set status to NEEDINFO... Regards Pierre-Yves
I can confirm the steps to reproduce I listed are showing an erroneous result. The only thing to change is that on step 5, I actually select A4 in Landscpe mode. Have you tried them? I tried you suggestion of Fitting to the page size, but it only fits the second copy, on the right part of the page to a size that seems correct. But since 2 Portrait A5 do exactly fit in on Landscape A4, I don't think a user would need to use the "Fit to printable page option". > Does that answer your question ? I don't think so. I still have the impression that what I reported is not a usage question, but an actual bug when trying to put 2 copies of same A5/Portrait on a A4/Landscape.
Hi I'm really sorry to respond so late, I just forgot. (In reply to comment #2) > I can confirm the steps to reproduce I listed are showing an erroneous > result. The only thing to change is that on step 5, I actually select A4 in > Landscpe mode. Have you tried them? So, I understand better, but I can not reproduce your problem on windows 7/64 & Version: 4.3.0.3 Build ID: 08ebe52789a201dd7d38ef653ef7a48925e7f9f7 See the 2A5onA4.png screenshot. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new document 2. Use Format>Page to set it as A5 3. Create a big red rectangle on the whole page 4. Go to Print 5. Open the *printer* properties, select A4 format in Landscape mode. 6. Select Page Layout>Page per sheet=2 7. Options tab check Use only paper size from printer 8. Back to general, select Pages "1,1" Regards Pierre-Yves

The work around in LO4.4 doesn't work in LO5 - a regression?? Serious;y needs a fix with all the Linux talk about how several countries are moving to open source.
Is this a duplicate of bug 70676?

Using steps from comment 3, I got a wrong result back in OOo 3.3. But I can now get the expected result at least since 6.0 all the way to a master build from today, on Ubuntu 20.04. Marking as "works for me", but please set back to "New" if you still have an issue using the comment 3 steps. Keeping bug 45701 only as See Also, because the OP was already using the "1,1" method for "Pages" (as opposed to Copies = 2).
