           Summary: pdftops command line utility does not convert multiple-
                    page-size documents correctly
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: till.kamppeter at gmail.com


Created an attachment (id=22304)
 --> (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=22304)
PDF file with different page sizes: 1: A4 port, 2: A3 landsc, 3: A3 port, 4: A4
landsc

If one converts a PDF file which has pages with different sizes (example
attached) and converts it to PostScript with pdftops, the resulting file has
all pages scaled to the size of the first page.

I have tried without command line options (except the file names) and with many
different combinations of "-nocrop", "-noshrink", "-nocenter", "-paper match"
and did not get a PostScript file with the original page sizes. Giving
"-noshrink" keeps the page content in its original size, but the page size
still stays the size of the first page and so all pages bigger than the first
page get cropped.

This way pdftops cannot be used to print a PDF file with pages of different
sizes on a PostScript printer which provides the different paper sizes on its
different trays.
