primopdf will cut large picture

[daviking222]

if the picture is very large, it will be cut in many pieces.
it is very inconvenient for someone need the picture by pdf.
please fix it.

and i hope primopdf can support Chinese file name and be a mulitlanguage software.

If the picture is 17x22 and the printer has 8.5x11 paper, the result will come out as, at least, four pieces of "paper". If possible resize the picture to the page or the output page size to the picture.

Example, print the picture to a real printer and the results should compare to that of the PDF.

setting an individual pagesize unfortunately does not update bounds and paper size in the printersettings, only the size of printable area is updated

e.g. setting pagesize to 36x48"
but driver internal bounds and papersize remains on DinA4

:(

We are not able to reproduce the problem described.

With PrimoPDF 3.2 installed on Vista Business Edition (sorry that is was what was available):
- Open large picture (if converted with letter size, it comes out as four pages)
- Open using Paint
- Print to PrimoPDF
- Select Preferences
- Select Advanced
- Select Paper Size drop down menu and select PostScript Custom
- Define page size (20x20, Unit Inch)
- Click OK, Click OK, Click OK, Click Print
- Get Conversion Popup window, Select Prepress (for highest quality)
- Click OK
- Get PDF displayed by Reader 8.0 with big picture on a single page
Note: Reader document properties indicate that the page is 20x20, kicked it up to 36x48 and got a lot of white space around picture

primopdf only works fine when application takes size info from printable area

but:
a lot of applications prefer evaluating page size stored in device info
and as page size is not updated inside primopdf even when you increase it

a closer look inside the code to device structure will show the problem
