Acrobat 6 Converting Portrait/Landscape Pages

Hello,
I am trying to convert a document to PDF which contains both landscape and portrait pages but everytime you try to convert to PDF it runs through the process for a few seconds then everything closes.
I have discovered that if I change the landscape pages back to portrait it works. Is there anyway around this?

It appears to print to PDF ok but the user is attempting to combine multiple documents into a PDF so this would not be a work around.
The documents are word documents.

Acrobat X not recognising landscape pages

Acrobat X (as part of a TCS3 trial) on Windows XP Pro SP3.
Frame 10 document contains 15 consecutive landscape pages within it. Save as PDF using Distiller X does not recognise the landscape pages and creates them as portrait. This means that my very wide table is missing its left- and right-hand columns.
I've tried setting the 'Auto-Rotate Pages' option in Distiller to 'Off', 'Collectively by File' and 'Individually', all with no effect. What setting should I be using and what else do I need to set to rectify this. I never saw this happen with my previous setup, Frame 8 and Acrobat 9.
Thanks,
Ant

Thank you for that explanation. I appreciate your response and knowledge.
I assume that is the correct technical answer. But from my point of view, I don't care so much as to why it doesn't capture it as I do about how can I get it to capture it. I assume there is no way to do it.
That border part, regardless of what it is technically, is part of what the viewer sees when he views the page. It seems to me that the idea of the capture feature is to capture the full Web page as faithfully as possible so it looks exactly as it looks when you view the page live and contains all the information contained in the live page. So, I think it is a flaw in the Acrobat capture feature that this area is not captured.
I use another .pdf program that captures the page including that part of the page. But I would prefer to use Acrobat if it worked properly.
If there is some good reason why that area should not be captured, I'd be interested in hearing what it is. It might be something I am not aware of. If there is some reason, then maybe the best solution would be to offer some kind of option to capture it with or without certain parts such as the part you mentioned.
The other program has a width adjustment so that you can determine how wide tha capture area is. It's a nice feature and allows you to capture it the way Acrobat does without the border, or make it wider to capture the border too. Acrobat should have some way to accommodate this.

Acrobat 9 prints half landscape page from windows 7 home

Acrobat 9 reader prints to 1/2 page in landscape mode. The only way I could get it to print correctly in portrait mode, full page was to choose advanced print option and select "Print as Image". I have tried every combination of print dialog settings, updated my printer driver, updated acrobat, and nothing else worked. Every other application works fine except acrobat 9. How can I get acrobat to print a full portrait page without selecting print as image?

I also have this problem, and I am thankful you guys wrote to "print as image". I believe it is a glitch between Xerox printers and Adobe Reader/Adobe Reader X. I was hooked up to Xerox Phaser 8560DN-279 and all .pdfs were printing in half page, booklet form. I uninstalled and reinstalled my printer driver along with uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader. Tried re-printing and it still printed in booklet form. I then attached my computer to an HP printer, and it printed fine, full 8.5x11. So I thought it was the printer connection. I then attached a 3rd printer to my computer, Xerox Phaser 8560MFP, and once again all .pdfs were printed in booklet form. So it seems to be to be a problem with adobe reader and xerox printers.

Like to Create PDF that includes portrait & Landscape pages

I have a HP Scanner which allows me to create PDF documents. I have these very important documents about "My Learning Disability" the issue is that some pages are printed in Portrait and others are in Landscape. I really need to know if its possible to create a PDF with my specific needs? I have the latest addition of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
HP SCANJET G4010
Currently when I scan the pages are all portrait which makes some of them sideways on my Monitor
Thank you Very Much

Reader cannot create PDFs. You'd need to ask in the Acrobat Forum, as your scanner probably uses it to make the PDF.

Landscape pages in Word revert to portrait in PDF when converted with Acrobat 9.

My work group is using the PDF-T-Maker plugin to convert Word docs to PDF through Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. Lately, all the landscape pages have reverted to portrait in the conversion, but only for me. Everyone else in my group is getting correct layout when they run the same process on the same docs. Today, I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat, then installed the updates (I'm on v. 9.3.1), but I've still got the same issue. I've checked the settings in Acrobat, Distiller, the PDF printer, and T-Maker, and I think they're correct. Shots of the Distiller and T-Maker settings are below. Any ideas about what's going on?

Looks like you have A4 pages. I would copy the PDF and then rotate the landscape pages (or portrait) individually (use the tools, not the view rotation) and then do the save to DOC or DOCX. That might do what you want. I would have expected it to notice the orientation, but I guess not. You did not mention the version of Acrobat. If you have not done the updates, you may want to do those first. Your issue may have been address with the updates.

How do I convert a FrameMaker file containing both Portrait and Landscape pages into PDF?

I have recently converted to FrameMaker 9 and Acrobat 9. In the FrameMaker manual I am creating, most of the pages have Portait orientation, but some have Landscape orientation. However, when I convert the manual to PDF using Acrobat Distiller, the Landscape pages become Portrait. This wasn't a problem when I converted the manual into PDF in previous versions of Acrobat Distiller, it appeared after I installed Acrobat 9. In other words, the FrameMaker file has worked before. I have also tried this on three different computers to make sure the computer is not the problem. Does anybody have any ideas that I could try to make this work?

Jorunn, did you ever resolve this problem? If not, I've got a solution for you.
In FrameMaker, select the book you want to create a PDF of, click File > Print, and select Adobe PDF as your printer.
Click Properties and make sure you have the selections you want.
Back on the Print Setup dialog, leave the Paper and Orientation as both Letter and Portrait respectively.
On the Print Book dialog, select Print to File and browse to the correct location. Make certain to save this as a PostScript file (name.ps) and at the Safe Book As field, you want Single File selected.
Again on the Print Book dialog, click the checkbox for Generate Adobe Data and click PDF Setup. On the PDF Setup for Selected Files dialog, at the PDF Job Options, select Press Quality or make the appropriate choices for your situation for Settings, Bookmarks, Tags, and Links.
With Adobe Distiller open, File > Open and browse to the .ps file you indicated earlier. Also verify your Default Settings for the PDF are correct. When Distiller is finished, you can double-click the PDF file to open it and check that your portrait and landscape pages show correctly.

Printing Document w/ both portrait and landscape pages

After some searching, I was able to create PDF forms with LiveCycle that had a mix of portrait and landscape content.
However, when I go to print the document from Acrobat Professional 8.0, it prints the landscape pages in portrait mode, thus cutting off the right side of the page.
When printing on computers with only Acrobat Reader, the pages all print properly. Is there a way to fix this?

If you just want a page the same size as the rest of the report but with the text printed sideways, you can do that in Pages.
If you want a fold out page (2 sheets wide) then you will have to make a second document for the wider sheet and, after skipping a page in the original, manually insert it after printing.
Alternatively the material can be scaled down to fit.
Hopefully in Pages '10 we will get spreads.
…as well as real color management, crop marks, spot color, slugs, direct selection tool, ability to select objects under other objects, a usable drawing tool, object library, user created shapes, convert text to outline…

How do I export from PDF to Word when PDF has both portrait and landscape pages in it?

Most of the pdf is in portrait but a few are in landscape in the middle of the document and it totally screws up the rest of the document. Help! AND the portrait page size is 8.27 x 11/69.

Can I split a landscape page in half to print as two portrait pages?

Re-posting: I originally posted this in the wrong forum. Sorry.
Adobe Reader 8.x
Windows XP, SP2
Im a complete novice, having only ever read documents, as PDFs, and not created them.
I have a PDF catalogue, where each landscape page consists of two of the catalogues portrait-shaped pages side by side, and would like to be able to split these pages, vertically, into separate, single catalogue pages for printing. I dont wish to create a new PDF of this catalogue, simply print each of the catalogues pages individually.
Can I do this?
Thanks for any help.

You can play this game with Acrobat (though a bit of a pain), but as far as I know you can do nothing in Reader. Maybe the folks in the Reader forum would have an idea, but I doubt it.

FM9 makes landscape pages into portrait when saving as PDF

I have FM9, Windows7 Professional 6.1.
One doc has landscape pages, but when I save to PDF I get portrait pages cropped left and right.
I reinstalled FM9, got the updates (which weren't in the download of FM9 -- whyever not?), and I got the right orientation once. Next day, back to portrait for these landscape pages.
Today I tried to install FM12 as a trial, but it won't. I get to the "Currently Installing Adode PDF Creatino Add-on XI" and that's where it stops, 42% complete. So that won't be any help. I was hoping FM12 would not have this problem.

You need to select a Distiller joboptions file where the "Auto-Rotate Pages" option is set to "Individually" instead of "Collectively by File" or "Off".
Regarding the trial, if you already a version of Acrobat installed, you must NOT use the default options for installation. This tries to install the PDF Creator add-on (essentially a limited form of Distiller) that will conflict with the existing installation. The install may either overwrite part of the exising Acrobat insallation or fail and still damage the existing installation.

hello there! i am using Adobe acrobat pro DC and using windows 8.1. Recently I was trying to convert a web page (includes Greek letters) into PDF. I noticed that the conversion is not accurate, some words are missing, some are misplaced. Especially Greek words are not accurately converted or even not converted. Please give me some suggestions to improve this issue. Regards

Hey quantum info,
Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page" option in Acrobat.
Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
Hope to hear from you.
Regards,

Inserting a landscape page in a portrait document

Thanks for you help in advance....
I'd like to be able to insert a landscape page into my portrait document. I know how to do this in Word, but can't quite figure it in Pages 09.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Yes I may.
Searching in existing threads before asking would be an efficient practice.
Your question was asked and responded many times.
A Pages document can't contain two orientations.
It's entirely Landscape or entirely Portrait.
_Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'10

You can't. But you could add a text box and rotate it (select the box, click arrange, rotate).

Put a Landscape page in a Portrait format Document

Hi guys,
Any idea how come put a Landscape page in all Portrait format Document? Some tables needs to go on landscape format as is a scientific report and the author wanted this way.
Thanks for any clue,
Cheers,
Sebastiao

Depends on your version, and what you mean by a landscape page.
CS 4 allows you to rotate a spread view, but the page size and shape remain the same. This is what most people mean by a landscape page in a portrait doc, but you might really mean a page the same height, but wider, that needs to fold out -- common in technical work. For that you need to add a page or more to your spread (and don't forget that page also has a reverse, so add it to the corresponding opposite spread, too).
For earlier versions of ID you can rotate the text frame on the page where the table goes and tip your head, or you can make a separate document and combine it in a book, but ultimately you'll need to either rotate it back for printing or do the fold-out as above, so I'd stick with rotating the frame for just one or two tables.
Fold-out pages require special handling and a discussion with the printer.
