KPDF: Landscape PDF printed as portrait (and truncated)

Hello,

I submitted the following bug about KPDF but nobody has confirmed it so far.
Since I think it is quite straightforward to test, could someone give me
some return? :-)

I discover that some PDFs created with landscape orientation (for instance,
all from open office) are wrongly printed with a portrait orientation.

I printed the same web page both with konqueror and OOo as a landscape PDF
and noticed the following differences:

PDF from konqueror (kprint):
- icon preview is turned counter-clock wise.
- kpdf displays it correctly as landscape
- in Print/properties dialog box, orientation selection is portrait
- in print preview, everything looks fine

PDF from Open Office:
- icon preview is in landscape orientation.
- kpdf displays it correctly as landscape
- in Print/properties dialog box, orientation selection is grayed, with
landscape selected
- in print preview, page is in portrait mode, while content is still
landscape-oriented


I can provide both PDFs as needed.
