Different Page Orientation

Hi Folks,
I have a form, a PO Output, that I have written in Adobe Forms, it is nearly finished apart from one last requirement.
I have the form in Landscape format, the data should create as many pages as it needs to output the data in landscape format. When it is finished outputting the data, the last page it should print is a terms and conditions page in portrait format.
I have been able to set the two page formats, however, the first page prints correctly in landscape, but then all subsequent pages print in portrait, how do I set it so that only the last page prints in portrait?
Thanks for any help,
Colm

Hello Colm,
Create two master pages, say Page1 and Page2, and create two body pages, say BP1 and BP2. Place the PO data subform on BP1 and Place the terms and conditions on BP2. As soon as all the data gets printed, in the last page, terms and conditions get printed. If you need to terms and conditions on the back side of the last page, please let me know.
Please let me know, if you see any issues.
Thanks,
Rakesh

How can I use two different page orientations in the same document?

I am trying to have both portrait and landscape page orientations in the same document. Pages doesn't seem to like this. Is there a way?

I tried to comment on another thread about this same issue, but the thread was closed.
In the other thread; however, some asked why rotating one pages was necessary, and if they knew then maybe there would be reason to create the function.
Well, I don't know about why anyone else needs it, but for me it's for the papers I have to write for my masters program. The professors like to have the rubric attached to the bottome of the document so they easily grade and keep things organized. They of course give directions on how to easily change the orientation of the last page in Word, but not all of use Word, or even want to use Word. Maybe I need to ditch Pages and go to Word? I'd really hate to do that!
So, come on Apple, let's get this feature added, stat!

Different Page Orientation in Single Report

i am using Crystal Report XI Release 2.
I am creating a report. First page i want to use Portrait Orientation and all remaining pages should have landscape.
First page is cover letter which should only be in Portrait. I tried making this as sub-report, but when i change subreport's orientation, it changes the main reports orientation.
Thanks For Support...

Hi Sastry
I've just finished rehashing a report that has required a change from Portrait to Landscape, which I havent' been able to do until getting Crystal 2008... Phew!... Or so I thought...
While editing, the print preview shows me exactly what I want to see... seamless transition from Portrait to Landscape pages.
But once I load the report back into my database and generate it, Crystal seems to change its mind about the changing orientations, and completely ignores the call for Landscape from the second page onwards.
Do you have a suggestion to solve this problem?

Different page orientation in new section?

I have a Word document I'd rather do in Pages, so I am recreating it. I need to have the first section in vertical orientation, and the second section in landscape (horizontal). Is there a way to do this? When I ask for a new section and change the page layout, it changes the whole document.

Penny
I agree in some ways that you shouldn't change the good parts, but disagree on the point that if an outside idea is a good one it should not matter where it has been used.
All programs have their faults and IMHO Pages has a disproportionate share, to the point I really find it difficult to use productively for almost any kind of work.
I storm through work with iText Pro where I trundle in Pages. That is despite iText Pro having a relatively clumsy method of implementing and applying styles, and lacks floating objects.
On more than one occasion I have tried to use Pages for serious work only to founder on one or more fatal stumbling blocks, despite having steadfastly ignored its maimed User Interface. You can't accuse me of not knowing the program.
In the end there is its doomed .pdf output to put the nail into the coffin of any real work I might do.
It holds a tantalising glimpse of what it could be however, and there is always the next version and the next version to inspire hope.

Different page orientation in same report!

As in Microsoft Word I am trying to customize a mail merge totally in Crystal Reports using Access as the data engine. Can Crystal have a cover letter, with merge fields, from Access as portrait orientation (page 1) and then all subsequent pages in landscape orientation (recipients data pages). In summary I need Crystal to be able to have page 1 as portrait and all other pages as landscape within the same report. This answer is dependent on whether I purchase Crystal Reports.
Thank You

Hello,
This functionality is new with CR2008. You can visit the [Crystal Reports 2008 Features|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting-dashboarding/reporting/crystalreports/featuresfunctions/index.epx] page for more information.

Dynamic Page Orientation in Reports 6i

I have the following requirement. I need to print a letter that contains an attachment. The letter is two pages long and the page size letter and orientation is portrait. The attachment is legal but the orientation is landscape. So what it essentially means is that I need to change the orientation between pages. The letter is a separate repeating frame that the attachment, they are at the same level. I have set the main layout section to H=11 and W=8.5. When I layout the attachment in the layout editor and run the report I get error that the body is outside the frame etc... Meaning the size of the attachment is outside the page. I can define a different page size in the Trailer Section and it works fine if I am only printing one letter, If I enter parameters to print multiple letters, ie. from Customer A to C I get Letter A followed by letter B then Letter C then the three attachments. Problem is the letters go to a folding machine and need to be in order. I know I can do it by using text fields that contain the field name prefaced with and ampersand and then rotate the text field accordingly but this seems very cumbersome. Does anyone know of a better way to essentially create a single report that has different page orientations from page to page. Thanks in advance for any insights. Phil

hello,
in 6i we only support one page size per report. in 9i/10g we allow for different pagesize settings for the three sections of a report.
thanks,

Is is possible to combine multiple page orientations in a single document (Pages '09 v4.1)?

I'm trying to write a document with differing page orientations (landscape, portrait) for individual pages. This has *LONG* been a feature in Word but I can't figure out how to do it in Pages '09. What am I missing?

I did search and did find that answer in the forums. However, using another application to manipulate the final product is not the solution in the native app that I am seeking. I want to be able to have the editable document open and see the layout on the differing pages while writing. I suppose you are correct and this is a personal opinion/desire for this feature. However, I do not think it is too much to expect if Apple wants people to be convinced to use their iWork suite instead of MS Office.

How to create a report with different page sizes

Hi,

When I change the layout parameters, changes afect to all sheets...
Is there a way to change page size individually for each sheet?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Marc,
You can use the DocStart and DocEnd commands along with the PicPrint command to spool multiple print commands to the same output PDF file using the direct printer approach. This should enable you to programmatically specify the page size differently for each sheet that you add to the print job.

Auto adjustment of page orientation causes printing issues with documents that have a page width greater than its page height.

Hi,
Since an upgrade from Word 2003 to Word 2010, we are experiencing printing issues with certain
documents that have a page width greater than its page height.
In Word 2003, it was no problem to set the page width greater than the page height while setting the page orientation to "portrait".
In Word 2010, this seems impossible: despite leaving the page orientation to "portrait", if one changes the page width/height as stated,
Word 2010 automatically adjusts the orientation to "landscape". Resetting the orientation to "portrait" will flip the page's width/heigth settings.
This behaviour causes printing problems: the page prints out 90° rotated.
I do not believe this is a printer driver issue: I tried several different printer drivers, and all give the same (bad) result. Setting the printer driver's page orientation settings (before printing) makes no difference, as
Word 2010 seems to force the page orientation settings.
Inserting the documents 90° rotated is not an option, since it causes problems with the printing margins.
This is very annoying, since we have to print official documents of a municipality (driver's licences).
Is there a workaround for this issue?

How do I create a PDF document with multiple different page sizes?

I scan tif images and can have a single document with Letter, Legal, Tabloid, and even full map plan sizes (36" X 24") all in one document. I get the document all set, then do a: File, Print, choose Adobe PDF (running Acrobat XI Pro), but it converts all the pages in my tif file to a single size.
I've found where to set the size, but the problem is I have many different sizes. Is there a way to have the Adobe PDF printer, just use the original documents page sizes for each page when converting?

The program I use to create the TIF files (OpenText's eDOCS Imaging) does not make PDFs, it makes TIFs (and TIFFs). To then convert this, if I try to do it through Adobe directly, I get an error which prompts me to open it in the native program and to choose print and then select the adobe printer.
This works perfect if every page is the same size, but many times my documents have many different page sizes as well as portrait and landscape within the same document (but that is a separate option).
Doesn't Adobe have a "use the original page size / orientation" as an option when creating PDFs from existing documents?

How to change a pdf's page size, margins and page orientation? Are there available tools to do this?

We are converting Lotus Notes documents to PDF by exporting (printing) them to PDF via a PDF writer but found some content are truncated or cropped. We have to manually re-print to pdf using a different page/paper settings in order to capture the content correctly. Are there any other methods or tools which can automate this step? Would it be possible to change the PDF properties to adjust the page size, etc?
Hope there are some useful tools available as there are thousands of documents that are having this issue. Thank you.

The page size options are limited, but are in the crop tool. If there are no tags or other markup, you can also print to a new PDF and adjust the size in the printer interface -- sometimes the simplest method, but not normally recommended. The rotation can be done in the document menu and then saved. The rotation that is typically on the toolbar are only for the current view and does not save with the PDF. Many of these you can use a batch process to resolve (in AA8 that is under the Advanced>Document Processing). The better method is to setup your Adobe PDF printer to create the correct page size and orientation in the future. You can setup to typically expand to fit, select a paper size, and have the settings set to auto-rotate. The later is based on the text that is found on the page. The margin elimination is also part of the crop tool. Hopefully this at least gives you some things to look at. Unfortunately, the tools get moved around with every version, so you may have to search for the tools.

How do we print multiple components each in a different page?

hello
I would like to print multiple JPanels (lets say an array) each in a different page.
The question I ask is about the following code
         printerJob.setPrintable(printTable.getInstance(), pageFormat);
              try
                    if (printerJob.printDialog())
                         printerJob.print();
                    }

Lets say that we have the following code. How do we modify it?

PDF From Excel File Page Orientation Problem

Hi and thank you for your time to read about this problem!
I have a workbook in Excel 2003 that has multiple worksheets that I am Itrying to convert to PDF for distribution. One worksheet in the workbook is set to 11x17 Landscape--all the other worksheets are Letter size and portrait. All pages have the same margin settings. I am running Acrobat 8 Professional.
I have tried Excel's Send to Recipient as PDF, as well as the "Convert to PDF" option on the PDF menu in Excel. In both cases the PDF file is converted perfectly when viewed on screen. All page sizes and page orientations are correct when viewed on-screen.
The problem occurs when the PDF file is printed. No matter what the file looks like on screen the first page that prints out is landscape instead of portrait. All of the following pages print fine. Even if I skip page 1 and print pages 2-7, the first page out of the printer has the wrong page orientation.
If we ran into this problem consistently across our PDF files I would say it's a printer issue, but I haven't seen this behavior before. I make PDF's from pretty much all of the Microsoft and Adobe products and this is the first time I've ever seen this happen.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

The machine I'm running it on is NTFS...
Have found the problem though and it's got nothing to do with Acrobat!
Basically the 80th sheet in the workbook had its Print Quality setting set to something different (higher resolution in this case) from the other sheets. I guess Acrobat saw that and realised it would have to create a new pdf with higher quality settings and so split the file in two when it hit that sheet. I assume a similar thing would happen if you changed the paper size half way through too.
Anyway, problem solved. Hopefully this post will help someone who's equally confused in the future!
Many thanks,
Ben.
