Title:
  Printing to a pdf in portrait mode from evince  fails if paper is
  wider than it is tall

Status in Evince document viewer:
  Expired
Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  If you create a custom paper type where the page width is larger than
  the page height evince will always orient the paper so that the longer
  dimension is the height. Switching the orientaion to lansdcape will
  make the dimensons correct but then the pdf file is sideways.

  To replicate:
  Try creating a custom paper type that is 5 in x 3 in. Print a document that is wider than it is tall. The resulting pdf file will have your content jammed at the top of a page that is 3 in x 5 in.

  This is in Hardy Heron evince-2.22.2-0ubuntu1
