Description
* Xreader version - 3.0.2
* Distribution - Mint 20.2
Issue
Printing an A4 document to a A5 pdf works correctly on one PC, but on another, the resulting pdf is in A4 size (same version of Mint, same version of Xreader).
On PC1:
On PC2:
Steps to reproduce
- Open the test file (but any other A4 pdf file should also work).
- Go to 'File' > 'Print'
- Choose 'Print to file' as printer
- Go to 'Configure page'. For 'Paper Size', choose 'A5'.
- Click 'Print'.
- Open the resulting file in xreader.
- Go to 'File' > 'Properties'.
- Check the value of 'Paper Size'.
Expected behaviour
Printing to A5 size should create a document with A5 size.
The behavior on different PCs with the same software (versions) should be the same.

Research direction
Reproduce with the linked test.pdf through File > Print, selecting Print to file and A5 under Configure page, then compare the resulting PDF's Paper Size in File > Properties on both PCs. Done means identifying and correcting the condition that causes the same Xreader and Mint versions to produce A4 instead of A5 output.
