[opensuse] Problem with Btrfs - it...

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? All help most appreciated.

It works for me. 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. That said, I have not used ocular for printing recently. It has been evince, Foxit, or even acrobat. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

yes, in a book, there are unnumbered pages. AFAIK, in LibreOffice or Ocular there is somewhere an indication of the page number from the software count (different from what is written on the page). that said, your difference is hudge. I guess it may be a page setup problem: if a printed page is too large for the paper, we have too sheets for each page. look at the option "scale" or "fit on the page" jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Carlos, May I ask which version of acrobat did you use and in what version of openSUSE? Because I wanted set up adobe reader (acroread) in 15.1 but I could not. Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Oh, I can not run acroread in 15.1 either. When I have to, I boot to an older release, or use a virtual machine with it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

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?

Your mistake lies in your textual expression of what you want done. Above you said "actual page 1". What you meant was the page that was *labelled* "1". When I create a document with a tool like LibreOffice I can decide that I want the first page of my document to be labelled "First" , "Second" .. if I so wish, rather than numbers or Roman numerals. I can even select Greek or Turkish or Russian numbering! more to the point, I can over-ride it arbitrarily at any point. It is just a label. Hopefully it follows some sort of convention about sequencing. Hhaving stuff in a book BEFORE the "page 1" of the written content is perfectly normal. The plate, dedication, copyright information, perhaps even a short note by the author. I'm reading Ken Follett's "Pillars of Earth" at the moment and his "in italics" frontispiece on how he came to write the book runs to 7 pages. There's then a blank page so that the book, proper, "begins" with a quotation from a comentary on the Doomsday book on the left and the start of the text of the story on the right. This is to make it visually balanced. Thus the start of the story, the logical page "1", labelled so and referred to as such in the index, which also precedes that "author's note" is nearly 20 pages from the cover. As far s I've read. the book is linear in time, but that doesn't have to be so. I've read books where there are inserts, sometimes whole chapters of "backstory", perhaps flashbacks, perhaps about the characters growing up. I suppose if the pages were "by date" it would make sense to the narration, help you understand the sequence of events, but would be confusing as it would have redundancies: there would be duplication of the page-date when describing what happened to two or more characters quite separately. While I suppose some avant-garde novelist might try this it IS unconventional but does emphasise my point that the pages are labels and the first page of a 'document' need not be labelled "1". more to the point: YOU may start writing with the defaults that label the first page of you writing "1", but then at a later date an index gets generated and inserted BEFORE the first page of your writing. The first page of your writing is now the 5th page of the document. In fact LO has the option to omit the page number from the first page (or any page, not I come to look at edit style) of your witting. Now I'm wondering ... Can I do "Chapter 4, page 5" style? Can I do "5.1" style? See file:///usr/share/libreoffice/help/en-US/text/swriter/guide/pagenumbers.html?DbPAR=WRITER#bm_id5918759 Start with a defined page number <META> Out of "Alice" many programming texts go to lengths to explain that an object is not it's name, it may not even be 'refereed to' by it's name, and in fact it may have a 'label' quite different from both that it is named and how it is called. As one great programmer comment, you may call by name or call by value. A name is arbitrary. A label is equally arbitrary. That has been the basis of a few thriller novels. </META> -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, Okular 1.6.3 "hangs" when U select print preview and eventually comes up with the error msg stating "Could not load print preview part". Luvly.

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.

the file is about the 6th line from the top of page.

21 megs. Yes, this file has a (4 pages) Roman number preamble. To print page 1 you have to ask to print page *5* instead. Just verify by using preview. It fooled me for a bit. Printed thus fine with Evince. Okular went into 100% CPU for a minute or two before printing anything, then it printed Ok.

That said, I have not used ocular for printing recently. It has been evince, Foxit, or even acrobat.

Never heard of evince nor Foxit but acrobat I've used before.

I'll look up evince and Foxit.

Evince comes in the distro with XFCE.

Don't use XFCE. Hate rats.

Foxit is external, proprietary (freemium), and is currently one of the best alternatives to acrobat we can get in Linux.

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?

All help most appreciated.

pdf's frequently begin with a few pages enumerated with Roman Numerals and then more pages beginning with Arabic Numerials. The printing begins with the first page as Arabic Numeral "1" which may actually be Roman Numeral "I", so you must account for those "extra" pages at the beginning of the document. clear as mudddd... -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

clear as mudddd...

The "front matter" (Title, TOC, preface/foreword etc.) is frequently numbered by Roman numerals in books, and the main contens by Arabic numerals. Adobe Reader (acroread) can be set to use continuous numbering from 1, or use different numbering for the front matter and the main text (Edit => Preferences => Page display => Page Content and Information => Use logical page numbers). Furthermore acroread's print window shows preview of the pages selected for printing, and can be used for setting scaling, rotation, printing multiple pages per paper sheet or booklet printing. This is the reason I insist on using acroread (and obsolete openSUSE versions where acroread works). As far as I know there is no other PDF viewer for linux that is so powerful when it comes to printing.

not for dynamic forms :-( but I guess Adobe don't make any effort to help opensource users, all the contrary, so this may be unsolvable. best way could be to use wine (still VM, but simpler... and this one is maintained).

Basil, The print dialog I use in KDE3 shows a thumbnail of the starting page when I select a range to print in the print-dialog (should be the same in plasma). I always just do a quick check between the thumbnail and the page I know I need to start printing from. As Patrick indicated, there are a number of reasons the actual "Page Count" will be different from the "Page Number" in a pdf. The thumbnail comparison the the best way I've found so far.

Well, I have worked out the peculiarity(ies) of FoxitReader -- and it appears tobe no different to what one experiences in Ocular: you have to ADD to the page number which you want to print the Covering (blank) page and then any pages numbered in the Latin numerology. So in the case of my Huawei User Manual I had to add 4 (blank page + i + ii + iii = 4 to be able to start printing a range of pages, or even a single page. However,there is also the ability to see exactly which page U want to print. On the extreme left side there is a column where the second icon represents pages. Click on that and all the pages of the pdf document are shown from top to bottom with the exact page number shown at the bottom of each page. I suspect the same arrangement is in Ocular so I will go looking there at some time soon. OH! Almost forgot! When you start FoxitReader you see a big '+'. This seems to indicate that clicking on this '+' you will open a new file or at least open A file. Clicking on this '+' is where Foxit hangs. To open a file use the File option (upper top).

When you start FoxitReader you see a big '+'. | This seems to indicate that clicking on this '+' you will open a | new file or at least open A file. Clicking on this '+' is where | Foxit hangs. To open a file use the File option (upper top). I just tried here, no issues. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
