Now I'm confused, too---I can't confirm your observation. Indeed evince- print-preview.png doesn't match the mexp-evince-scaling-Evince.ps according to the right and bottom margins (I overlooked those margins). But it does not match mexp-evince-scaling-AR.ps! I didn't mix up the files ... But forget about the both PostScript files I attached, they just seem to confuse us. evince-print-preview.png shows everything: The isssue is that Evince shrinks the page by adding margins all around. The example PDF file mexp-evince-scaling.pdf has no margins at all. You can see this in the background window (Evince's main window) in evince- print-preview.png. How Evince prints this document (adding margins all around) is shown in the foreground window (Evince's Print preview window) in evince-print-preview.png.
Unfortunately AR doesn't offer a print preview and I have only a german AR installation, so it doesn't make sense to attach a screenshot of the page setup. I didn't chose any scaling option in AR (Xpdf doesn't know such thing), they are disabled by default on my machines. But strictly speaking it doesn't matter how AR or Xpdf print the file. Evince shrinks it when it's not asked for. This is true for every PDF file I printed with Evince since I upgrade to Karmic---mexp-evince-scaling.pdf is just an example I created for this bug report. -- evince shrinks pages on printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/509652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
