splitting page over multiple sheets

users
#1

I may be missing something obvious here..... take a Draw document with a page size set to A2 (say), and try to print on A4 paper with the 'distribute on multiple sheets' option selected. I'm printing to PDF (LO 4.2.7.2 on Mint 17, btw) - the output is always an pdf file with a page size of A2 - but the left edge of the page appears replicated in the right margin.

Does this option actually work? I notice the documentation avoids its mention!

TIA.

Hi :slight_smile:
Are you including the official, published guides?
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
and the Faq?

I suspect you are including them but they are usually really good at
covering most things.

Except this one :frowning:

The 3.x guide ignores the 'libreoffice draw' print dialogue tab altogether. It's shown in the 4.1 guide (p185), but there's no discussion of 'distribute on multiple sheets'. The helpfile doesn't mention Draw-specific options at all.

I notice the option's not offered in Writer or Calc. Has anyone actually used it in Draw?
