            Bug ID: 347631
           Summary: Option to shrink/enlarge/don't scale printed output
                    missing
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.21.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: printing
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: pascal+kde at niklaus.org

This is a recurring issue, and I am not sure whether it is related to okular or
QPrinter, but it really is a show stopper that already existed in recent KDE4
releases.

The print dialogue lacks options to  shrink PDF pages to paper size / enlarge
to fit paper size / don't scale (100%) option. 

All these are critical, but the "don't scale" option is important for printouts
that have to be to scale, while the "fit to paper size" option is important for
other documents.

I find myself printing via KPrinter4 in these cases...

An example of a document that does not print correctly is here (a large part of
the 1st page is cut off). Interestingly, okular says it is A5 format, but when
printing it exceeds the margins of an A4 page:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open e.g. PDF listed above 
2. Print 1st page


Actual Results:  
Part of page clipped (not on A4 printout)

Expected Results:  
1) Scaling options in Print dialog
2) Even without options, the document should at least print to 100% scale,
which would be smaller than an A4 page (KPrinter4 does it correctly)
