Firefox does not print correctly portrait pdf files with embedded landscape pages. An example is the file http://dfeustel.home.mindspring.com/ece-equations.pdf. This paper is portrait style, but pages 20-25 have tables in landscape format. GV (called by firefox) prints the tables in portrait mode, truncating the right side, and then dies with a printer error (PC XL error - illegal media size). Also, there are lines of what probably is PostScript or PDF printed on top of the tables.
Is there a fix for this?
It works fine here. It is not printed by gv, by the way. Firefox calls the adobe plugin to display the file, but this changes depending on each person preferences. If tell firefox to print to a file (I'm not going to actually print it) the last pages are rotated. However, if you print directly to printer, it is possible that the software thinks that the printer can rotata the pages automatically. Ie, your problem will depend on what plugin you have configured in firefox to display the pdf (it can not be displayed its own), and what printer driver you use and how it is configured and how it works. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
