What is the trick to be able to successfully print a PDF file from (a) Ocular and (b) from Libreoffice?
The question really relates to the the selection of page numbers when printing a range of pages. For example, I opened a PDF file in ocular and selected a range of� pages to print --eg, 53 to 85 but the printing started from page 42 (I watched as the pages were being printed so stopped the job before too many pages [and ink] were wasted.
The same happened (but with a different PDF file) when the file was opened in Libreoffice. At the bottom of the displayed page it shows the correct page number as the start page for the pp range I want to print but the printing begins from a different page (similar to the experience with Ocular). I also notice that with Libreoffice the left hand column displays a 'slideshow' page number but using these page numbers produced even mare wasted paper.
The question therefore is: is there a "trick" in selecting the correct starting/ending pages to be printed when a PDF file is opened in either Ocular or LibreOffice?
It works for me.
What "works for [you]"? :-) Printing, both PDF or LO. No "tricks". I always get the pages I want. If not, it is always my mistake.
Ah, you say printing a PDF that has be opened in LO? I never do that, bound to fail.
But in PDF the printed page number may not be the actual page count, so you have to be careful.
Now, if you can link to the file in question, I can try.
If you are that keen then the file is downloadable from-
https://www.gearbest.com/blog/download/huawei-mate-30-series-user-manual-in-...
Nay, it wants me to register. Can you email it off list, please?
Me thinks I gave you a different URL to the one I used. Try this one from Huawei itself:
https://consumer.huawei.com/au/support/phones/mate30-pro/
the file is about the 6th line from the top of page. so you need to add 5 to the page start and page end to get the printed document starting with the document's Page 1.
Why 5, Patrick? There is the cover and then there are pages numbered i to iii. So does one add another page to indicate the start to be (actual) page 1? Does this mean that if I wanted to print starting from page 53 I would instruct the printer to start from page 58?
