Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Introduction:

http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=231016#231016

How do i print a document in booklet and duplex mode from a document that has multiple portrait and landscape orientated pages with oowriter?

Problem:

The portrait pages are going fine. However the landscape pages are printed portrait orientated and not landscape. It doesn't spread out over its selected area on the paper sheet.

So how can we get the landscape pages printed in landscape when printing a brochure?

I would really like to see a solution with oowriter, so i can print brochures from normal documents directly with oowriter.

The process:

See the openoffice.org internal help for more info:

Reproduction:

Step 1:
Create a document with mixed portrait and landscape pages like this document

Step2:
File -> Printer settings -> Select printer (pdf virtual printer)
File -> Printer settings -> Properties ->
Paper Size : A4
Orientation: Landscape
Duplex: Short Edge
Paper Tray: Tray 1

Step 3:
File -> Print option -> Column: Pages -> Check: brochure, left page and right page
Print to file -> test.ps
or to printer or to virtual printer

Its also happening when doing a simple two on one page print. The landscape pages are not turning 90 degrees!

[This is an automated message.]
There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
