I have filed or commented bugs on both.

 KPDF does not print 11x17 (ledger or tabloid), from a 22x34 original.

Gwenview uses all memory (8GB) viewing a folder of .tiff files, sizes 
from 200K to 950K.

tiff & pdf are the most common way (here) to distribute construction 
drawings, 22x34, electronically.

Problematic here, I like the apps, but other apps work fine...just means 
having more software & libraries installled.. not a functional issue 
just not the as clean as I 'used' to like.
