Bug Description
Hi! This is not a bug but more of a personal wish. I would like that qpdfview be able to print only specific pages of a document, i.e. pages 7,9,11, ...78. Currently it has only three options for printing: the whole document, a range of pages (from 3 to 16, for example) and the current page. However, I have many pdf documents from which I want to print only specific pages and it is a bit time-consuming to print one page at a time. It would be much easier for me (and hopingly for others) to just enter the page numbers there and hit the Print button. I hope I made myself clear.
Regards,
Paval Vlad Paul

Hello Paval,
Thanks for reporting! Sadly enough, this limitation is due to Qt's standard print dialog which allows only those three choices. I think reimplementing the print dialog is currently beyond the scope of this project.
However, as a workaround, I could add a text field to the extended print options where one could specify page ranges which are then directly passed to CUPS overriding the standard options. Hence you would have all the options described in "Selecting a Range of Pages" at "http:// www.cups. org/documentati on.php/ options. html". It's a bit redundant, but I am unsure whether something better can be achieved within the bounds of the Qt print dialog.
Regards, Adam.
