Unable to scale a PDF document to fit the page in RHEL
Issue
- The command "
lpr -o fit-to-page <pdf filename>" does not honour thefit-to-pageoption. Attempting to print a PDF document that is exactly A4-sized results in the last line being cut off. On the other hand, when I convert the PDF document to PostScript usingpdftops(as in "pdftops <pdf filename> - | lpr" the output fits on the page, but it scales down the output more than necessary. - Printing a PDF document with the "fit-to-page" option may result in a document with cropped edges.
- We are trying to print a PDF from the command line that has very narrow margins so the edges get cut off. We try to specify the
fit-to-pageoption, but it seems to be ignored so we get the same page output every time.
Environment
