Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
Ubuntu 8.10
evince:
Installed: 2.24.1-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 2.24.1-0ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 0
500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open any PDF.
2. Select 'Print...', then 'Page setup' tab.
3. Set Layout | Pages per side to 2.
4. Set Layout | Only print to 'Even sheets' or 'Odd sheets'.
5. Inspect the results after clicking Print preview.
It was expected to produce even (odd) *sheets*, not document pages.
So it should be, for 'Odd sheets' setting:
Sheet 1: pages 1 and 2 (for 'Even sheets': pages 3 and 4)
Sheet 2: pages 5 and 6 (7 and 8)
Sheet 3: pages 9 and 10 (11 and 12)
and so on.
But in fact it produces:
Sheet 1: pages 1 and 3 (even: 2 and 4)
Sheet 2: pages 5 and 7 (6 and 8)
and so on.
This is wrong as printing odd/even pages is supposed to be used for
manual double-sided printing, which in the case of multiple pages per
sheet will produce a completely unusable and useless set of printed
pages.
