After I corrected those mistakes I was able to print a poster without problems" I'm not sure how you can say the paper size and orientation was wrong. Logically, something wider than high in portrait mode is identical to something higher than wide in landscape. Indeed, Draw treats the two as identical during design. If Draw wants to regard a page configuration as illegal, it should either not allow it or correct it automatically (that seems simple enough - if wider than high, switch dimensions and set mode to landscape). Secondly, your complaint about elements going off the page is just a "feature" of Draw. It creates text boxes that are larger than the contained text.No part of the actual text was even outside of the page margins.You don't say what "corrections" you applied, but changing the design is not a "correction". Draw should not make people jump through hoops to get a valid document printed as tiled pages. It seems to me the basic algorithm is straight-forward: - start at the top left and print the section of the document - move right one print-page width and print the next section - when at or past the right margin, drop down one print-page height and return to the left - when at or beyond the bottom-right, stop. You could even get fancy and not print blank pages. None of this requires knowing whether the document is defined as portrait or landscape. As for non-printing elements being off the page, if Draw wants to address those, it should do what Adobe Acrobat reader does and make that a print dialogue selection. As I reported earlier, it's confusing after having told Draw to print as tiles to then get a warning that the drawing is larger than the print page. However, since the dialog gives an option to print over multiple pages, it should work as advertised. But turning off tiling and just telling Draw to print over multiple pages doesn't work either. In short, this is a real bug, not a problem with my document. A work-around might be to change the document as you suggested (which I will try to do), but that's just a work-around, not a fix. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
