Description Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2006-02-19 12:29:36 UTC

When you print with scale, it produces postscript with something like:

%%Page: 1 1
%%BeginPageSetup
%%PageOrientation: Portrait
pdfStartPage
-2.77556e-17 0.261905 translate
-0.0026 -0.0026 scale
0 0 378 576 re W
%%EndPageSetup

The reason lies somewhere in PSOutputDev in HEAD, somehow imgWidth became -1.

Is there a way to reproduce this?

Comment 2 Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2006-02-19 12:44:18 UTC

Print document with evince or pass real pageWidth and pageHeight to PSOutputDev
constructor instead of -1,-1

Proposed patch

There are multiple ways to fix this bug, but I think the proposed one is most
consistent. Really PSOutputDev constructor API is not clear in view of passing
defaults like -1, -1 or 0,0,0,0. The patch makes defaults processing better. 

Otherwise we can try to pass real values not defauls to PSOutputDev
constructor, but I think it would be worse

Btw, there is another problem described in 5749 and this patch also solve it
