Reassigned to BH Confirming, setting target-milestone... In short: When doing a booklet print, there should be no need to create the document in a scaled-up way for the document to look as expected when shrinked down by the booklet-print option. (for details please see origninal description) Yes, it is not very usable. As it is no keyfeature for 'Q', we take it for 'Office later'. resetting prio, setting keywords, reassigning according to new RFE-process *** Issue 52893 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 46455 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** For teachers, it would be very economic (and ecologically sensible), if you could print two pages per sheet (half size, landscape). As I understand this issue, this is exactly what is suggested as "booklet". Now, I have to export to PDF and use the kpdf print dialogue to enable the multiple pages print mode. Even more tricky to achieve is another use case that is common for teachers: I need 30 copies of a sheet, but to save paper, I decide to print 15 papers in "booklet mode". This includes cloning a page so I can fill a landscape sheet with the downscaled sheet. Recently I cloned a page manually, and as a result, there were missing lines on every 2nd page. I (and many teachers) would appreciate a feature added tp the printer dialogue like: Page selection: (here you could state a list of pages, also 1,1 to clone p.1) Print mode: single page | two pages per sheet Please ask, if my explanations are ambigues in any way.
