            Bug ID: 451128
           Summary: "Print to file (PDF)" always defaults to A4 paper size
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: RedHat RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: billgee at sbcglobal.net
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
In any KDE application - When printing to the "Print To File (PDF)" device, the
paper size defaults to A4.  It can be changed to another size, but this must be
done for every print job.

This device does not appear under System Settings - Printers.  Other printers
that do show up there have been set to default to US Letter paper size.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any KDE application.  Gwenview, for example, though it happens in all
KDE apps.
2. Open a document.
3. Pull down File and choose Print.
4. Choose the "Print To file (PDF)" device from the list of printers.
5. Click the Properties button.  Observe that the paper size is A4.  Change the
paper size to something else.
6. Run the print job.
7. Repeat and notice that the paper size is once again A4.

OBSERVED RESULT
The default paper size for the "Print To File (PDF)" device is always A4.  The
default cannot be changed.

EXPECTED RESULT
Some way should be provided to change the default paper size for the "Print To
File (PDF)" device.
