            Bug ID: 296134
          Severity: normal
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
           Summary: pages are not rotated automatically at printout
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: martin.tlustos at gmail.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: okular

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/535.11 (KHTML, like
Gecko) Ubuntu/11.10 Chromium/17.0.963.79 Chrome/17.0.963.79 Safari/535.11
Build Identifier: 

I created a mindmap in freemind and exported it. It is wider than high, so
would print best in landscape format.
Okular opens the page well, but does print it in portrait, so the printout is
much smaller than necessary.
I can set rotation manually in the printer settings, but it is cumbersome and
error prone. Much nicer would be a feature that automatically rotates pages to
fit the paper size (like in adobe reader).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a pdf file that is landscape
2.print it
3.
Actual Results:  
If the printer settings are set wrong (sometimes "landscape," sometimes
"portrait," which makes it confusing and error prone), the printout gets either
resized or croped to fit on a portrait page.


Expected Results:  
The pdf should be rotated to fit to the page in an optimal way (at least as
selectable option).
