[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#469730: cupsys: [PATCH] for the new pdftops filter - add support for custom pagesize (needed by firefox 3 beta 3)

[Alban Browaeys]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.3.6-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Firefox 3 beta 3 use custom pagesize (there is a hack to try to get near
standard pages in most cases in pre beta 4 but it won't work in all
cases).
First thank you for th new pdftops filter that works with poppler-utils.

This patch check if there is a custom pagesize defined before feeding
ppdPageSize with NULL. (btw the doc does not state what null is supposed
to do ...).

I believe other application may be affected in fact any that renders pdf
and use custom pagesize.

In the hope that it ll be of use.

Best regards
Alban
