file example

Recent okular changes caused odd/event pages broken.
Standard way to print two side document on a single side printer is
to print event reversed pages, then odd direct.

example ap.djvu: 1 2 3 4
xeven_reversed.pdf: should be 4 2 , actually 1 2 3 4
xodd_direct.pdf: should be 1 2 , actually 1 2 3 4

rpm -q okular
okular-4.9.5-3.fc17.x86_64


It worked OK, it got broken during some update

Comment 1 Need Real Name 2013-02-17 13:11:03 UTC
There is a similar problem for a while in evince 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730574
I just gave up on GNOME these gnome developers 
are arrogant freaks obsessed with changes for the sake of changes,
incapable of fixing bugs (for years),
 and pushing 2x2 inches finger-touch
 interface to 30inch desktop.

But now you kde guys started broking okular, it was working perfectly OK before.
Please fix okular, because there is now no way in Fedora to print two side document on a single side printer.

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2013-02-17 13:16:11 UTC
I meant
example ap.djvu: 1 2 3 4
xeven_reversed.pdf: should be 4 2 , actually 1 2 3 4
xodd_direct.pdf: should be 1 3 , actually 1 2 3 4

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2013-02-17 22:43:31 UTC
When you say "working perfectly OK before" and "broke during some update", at what point did things break?  How long ago did it work?

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2013-02-17 23:02:48 UTC
And what format did it work with? Are you sure you tried it with DjVu? Printing in Okular is more backend-dependent than you'd expect, so this might be a backend bug.

Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2013-02-17 23:04:13 UTC
A simple way to test: Try "printing" the DjVu (completely) to a PDF, then printing (to your actual printer, or for testing to another PDF) the page selections you want from the PDF. Does that work any better than printing the DjVu file directly?

Comment 6 Need Real Name 2013-02-18 16:29:48 UTC
It definitely worked at some point in F17.

/var/log/yum.log:Feb 09 04:48:48 Updated: okular-4.9.5-3.fc17.x86_64

I think (but not sure ) that okular-4.8.4 & okular-4.8.5 worked.
okular-4.8.3 should work almost definitely.

In current okular printing .pdf .djvu .ps to file
produce the same (broken) results in all formats.

In evince .pdf is OK, .djvu & .ps are differently broken (you can check other bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730574 )

The broken results results were observed when printing to .pdf file.

Then I printed directly to printer
to my surprise the result is correct when printing both .djvu & .pdf
even reversed: 4 2
odd direct: 1 3
but again, the output is correct only for printing directly to printer.
Looks only "print to file" is broken.

Comment 7 Need Real Name 2013-04-23 16:09:23 UTC
Ot is also broken for printing .epub files.
when printing .epub - "reverse order" is honoured, but even/odd is not.
It prints everything. not even/odd.

Can you fix that and not be like arrogant&lazy gnome people
 with evince https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730574

Comment 8 Kevin Kofler 2013-04-23 18:12:13 UTC
Insulting developers is a VERY bad idea if you want them to fix bugs for you!

Comment 9 Need Real Name 2013-04-23 18:35:53 UTC
Agree, I was not right insulting gnome developers.

Sorry for that.

I just gave up on gnome about a year ago, because gnome developers became а sect
listening only to themselves(unity) and making pointless changes for a sake of changes. 
I switched to KDE because of that and stopped caring about gnome, 
but because of some unconscious reason I offended gnome guys in this bug report.

Sorry for that.

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
