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?
Thanks.
Use the Adobe Acrobat reader instead. I deal with these multi-orientation documents all the time and Acrobat (I sure hope it would) handles them correctly. I reported this same bug against KGhostView on 2008-10-16, but noone has bothered to even assign it or request information. I assume both GV and KGhostView use the same backend for PDF rendering. I am going to post your message into the bug.
