[Bug 346781] Re: Paper Size option for cups-pdf not working

[Tony Pursell]

The author of cups-pdf (Volker Behr) has been in touch with me to say
that his test show this to only be a problem with OOo.  I agree with
him.  The Print > Properties dialog inappropriately offers a change of
paper size.  Consider this:-

Programs like GIMP and the Document Viewer (Evince) deal with images, so
can print to A5 PDF 'paper' by shrinking the image to fit the paper
size.  Text editors like gedit can format the output to an A5 PDF
'paper' size because there is no paper size defined for a plain text
document.  However, OOo documents have a defined paper size so it is
wrong to offer a change of paper size on printing where no physical
paper size is involved.  Even when physical paper size is different,
printing from OOo is according to the defined paper size.

So this 'bug' really relates to OOo and the fact that it cannot, and
does not, print to any other paper size that the one defined in the
document.

I will mark it as Invalid.
