Bug? Selecting pages in reverse order in Print dialog

Post by Timur Born »

When I try to enter a range of page numbers in reverse order in Editor's print dialog then no pages are selected for that range. So a selection of "1-4" works, but a selection of "4-1" returns no page.

This works properly in Acrobat.

I would not see this as "a bug", but as "a missing feature".

Myself, I've never thought about this to print in reverse order.

A good idea to be considered.

The advantage is that you can combine it with other selections. In Acrobat something like this works: 1, 2, 4-6, 8, 13-9, 10

In Editor using the very same "1, 2, 4-6, 8, 13-9, 10" would result in pages being printed "1, 2, 4-6, 8, 10". The reverse "13-9" part would just be ignored by Editor without any feedback while the other pages are printed. In Viewer page 13 would be part of the printed pages while 12-9 are ignored. Both do not work the way Acrobat does and the way I would expect, so I consider this more a bug than a missing feature.

Hello Timur,

We've made a feature request ticket in our internal system:
#3824: FR: Reverse partial page range when printing.
and will post again here when that is implemented.

Regards,
Stefan
