I have just started using Okular now that I've installed Kubuntu (18.04).
Previously, when printing a PDF, I would get an option about scaling. For instance, Adobe Reader has options such as "Fit to page" and "Do not scale." I don't see options like that in the print dialog from Okular.
The PDF I have is exactly sized already, and should not be scaled during printing. The size of the PDF pages is 8 1/2" by 11", which is exactly the size of my paper.
However, when I print from Okular, the printout has extra (and uneven) margins, showing that the PDF was scaled down during printing.
How can I avoid this when printing from Okular so that the PDF prints at exactly the page size? Or is it absolutely necessary that I use another program to do my printing?
(I'd rather use Okular as it is the default viewer with Kubuntu and if possible I'd like to be able to recommend this distro for non-technical family and friends, and be familiar with the default applications they'll then be using.)
What I've tried already: clicking "properties" for the printer from the print dialog, and then in the "page" tab reducing the size of all four margins from the default "0.20in" down to 0. This did not have any effect on the next printout.
Created an image in LibreOffice Draw with precise dimensions.
This works, but... the image seems to be printed shifted so that it fits the printable area. So if the initial PDF contents just fit the printable area the right edge is going to be trimmed.
