Export to PDF in landscape orientation

Some of our discoverer reports have too many row headings so when exporting to PDF the user gets an error message basically saying that at least one data column must be printable on a page.
We have turned on the Printable Page link and if the user sets orientation to Landscape there, the export works fine (for that session).
Is there any URL parameter, config file edit, .uix file hack or other we can use to set the PDF orientation to landscape from start (every time)?
Kind regards

I would look in the documentation under Viewer / Plus for changes that can be made to the configuration files on the server to see if this can be done.
Admittedly, it doesn't sound like rocket science and I would have thought there'd be a section in one of the server config files to set 'landscape' as default.
It may even be a setting in a config file on the server where the actual text has to be written in (ie: not already there with a setting of 0 or something), so unless someone knows the answer right away, I'd check the docs on config files.

Unable to print PDF with landscape orientation

This print problem seems to be unique only to Mac when printing a PDF from Acrobat or Reader. All the pages come out in portrait (tall) orientation when the doc orientation is landscape and all the print setup is checked for landscape printing. I have a Xerox Phaser 7760DX printer. I can print the same doc without any issue via my pc, but cannot print landscape via my Mac, which makes me wonder if this is an Acrobat or Xerox issue. I did already update to latest Phaser 7760DX driver, but still same result. Thank you in advance for your advice.

Dont know the answer, but getting auto email notifications which I want stopped. Anyone know how? (I'm getting them from a bunch of messages)
Thanks

Saving a PDF as landscape orientation

I have a dynamically generated pfd. The content is set up for
landscape but when I open it in the browser or in Acrobat it is a
landscape document that is rendered in portrait. In acrobat I can
go into view and tell it to be landscape, but when I save it, it
reopens as portrait again.
How can I take a pdf page that is in portrait and save it out
so it opens up in landscape?

I am having the same issue, but the link provided no longer goes to the manual referenced. Does anyone have any other ideas? I've created a landscape document in Illustrator CS4, go to print it as a PDF, and though it would print correctly, when I open the PDF it's tipped over sideways (portrait). What's up with that?

Do you know why?
Thanks

I would suggest to use a forum under /community [original link is broken]

How to format the text in a Digital Signature for a PDF in landscape orientation?

I have a custom Digital Signature plug-in which prompts the user to enter few details on a dialog and then renders the signature. Now, the problem is for a page which has PDPageGetRotate value as 90. In this case, the entire content(text) in the signature is rendered reversed i.e its displayed upside down. However, for a page in portrait mode, i.e with rotation value as 0, signature is correctly displayed.
Can anybody help me by explaining which callback/method to use to frame the text appearance? I think there needs to be some change in the parameters passed to DigSigAPCreateLayeredStreamEx, am i correct?
Let me know any comments/suggestions on this issue of correctly rendering text in a digital signature for a rotated page.

Just setup the appropriate transformation matrix.

How do I create a PDF in landscape orientation?

Sorry for the noob question, but I can't figure out how to do this and my searches on the web aren't coming up with the right answer. I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro, thanks.

Sorry, I should've clarified that I'm trying to create it from a blank page. I'm trying to create a template that includes a preset header and footer.

Not able to print pdf files into landscape orientation

I am working on a R12 imnplementaion where I have to print labels on Zebra printer in landscape orientation using acroread through PASTA printing. Oracle Application uses xml publisher to generate these pdfs. All the printouts come in portrait orientation even I choose landscape. I have used acroread version 5 and 9.3.3. Can someone help me on this? I have used below syntaxes:
I was using
acroread -toPostScript -pairs -shrink -landscape BTLYOMSHIPLABEL_3479320_1.PDF BTLYOMSHIPLABEL_3479320_1.PS |lp -d label
and It was not working.
I found a hit on metalink and it says that we should not use –pairs in the command line. If I remove –pairs, then we can’t pass {inline} {outline} parameters. Then I have tried all the below commands:
cat BTLYOMSHIPLABEL_3479320_1.PDF |acroread -toPostScript -landscape |lp -d label
cat BTLYOMSHIPLABEL_3479320_1.PDF |acroread -toPostScript -shrink -landscape |lp -d label
Thanks & Regards
Swadesh

Hi Swadesh,
Try using the -rotateAndCenter option.
cat A.pdf | acroread -toPostScript -shrink -rotateAndCenter | lp -d <PRINTERr>
OR
acroread -toPostScript -pairs -shrink -rotateAndCenter A.pdf - | lp -d <PRINTER>
Let me know if this helps.

PDF with Portait and Landscape Orientation act differently between pages

Hi,
I have issue when I'm trying to have a landscape orientation in a PDF with another portrait page.
All I want to do is have a small page which indicates instructions on the form because it is a form builder, once the form is created by the user the landscape page gets hidden.
My issue here is that when I set a masterpage to landscape it makes it different to switch between pages.
I can't see more than 1 page at a time, just like it can't show a landscape and portait orientation together in the screen.
I have another form with landscape and portait together and it works fine, but this form doesn't stay normal... There must be something I'm missing...
It is annoying that I can't have more than one page in the screen, once I hit the bottom or the top of the page it switches automatically to the other page.
Please help me on this, I'm trying to figure out what is causing this bug..

Hi,
I haven't used form builder, but do you still have a viewState, try adding the following line in the docReady event of the form
event.target.viewState = { pageViewLayoutMode:2 };
This has the same effect as setting Enable Scrolling on the View ... Page Display menu.
A value of 1 would give you the single page view.

Portrait/landscape orientation from MS Word to .pdf

I just converted my first Word document to a .pdf with Adobe.com Air. The Word doc was created in a portrait orientation, but the .pdf
came out in a landscape orientation. Can't figure out how to correct?

The original was an MS Word document (.doc) created with page set up for portrait orientation. It shows and prints
in portrait orientation. I converted to a .pdf on Adobe.com and the pdf file was in landscape. When the pdf is viewed (previewed?)
on Adobe.com, it appears in landscape. It is a one page document and was never saved to any other format. Since the original Word
document is in the correct format, how would I alter the formating to re-upload and convert again? I have attached both the .doc & .pdf files.

Landscape oriented PDF prints only in Portrait mode

I have a reporting application which displays to the user reports in PDF, some of them are in landscape orientation, but when the user prints the reports, they are fitted (shrunk) into a portrait orientation page. This is happening with Firefox 19 and the new embedded PDF viewer. Is there a way to resolve this problem?
Thanks!

I'm not asking for compensation I was making a point.
A lot of the modern world rely on the internet and the tools provided to access it.
A lot of company who have customers use the web to communicate or work with them, they sell applications or offer services based on the web technologies, they rely on the browsers used by their customers but can't impose them. So we rely on the seriousness of the browser regarding compliance to standards.
I always trusted Mozilla and Firefox to be leaders in this field.
I think that nonetheless the EULA we have right to have a compliant products so when a functionality replace without the will of the customer a working functionality it will 1) be compliant with the standard, 2) work as or better the element it replace. That is not the case with PDF.js.
A lot of browser users are not used with tweaking parameters or settings to get back to something which was working.
But be real PDF.js is not providing the services it's made for, it's a wor in progress ok! but it's a default feature, not a choice, and it breaks sites or applications functionalities that was working before it, that just my point. My PDF are working just fine with the acrobat reader plugin (for 3 years) and yes I'm upset because every thing was working and clients are now complaining that it does not work anymore. It's like with IE for ten years we are forced to find work arounds. The difference is that IE never worked like it should so we never trusted it but we trusted Firefox, which seems to be becoming less reliable.
Have I the power to easily switch all the applications users to a more PDF compliant browser I will.

Combined Acrobat file - scanned PDF wrongly gets landscape orientation

Online subscription Acrobat - when combining files, a scanned portrait-orientation PDF file is reformatted to landscape orientation, clipping contents at the bottom of the page. Is this a bug, or can I fix this?
Frode

One solution was to take the scanned PDF, open it in Reader, and "Print-to-PDF" it again but selecting Landscape orientation instead of automatic orientation.

Exporting Xcelsius dashboard to PDF in landscape mode

This same question was posted over a year ago and one of the 'official' replies was that the feature was added to the request list and was going to be implemented some time in the future. I was just curious if there have been any developments on this and thus, if it's now possible to export a dashboard from Crystal Xcelsius into a PDF in landscape form.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I had the same problem but have only found a temporary fix.
In Adobe Acrobat, go to Document -> Rotate Page.
Rotate by 90 degrees in either direction (doesn't matter which way)
You will now notice why I call this temporary - you will have large blank margins above and below the dashboard even if you did not include any when exporting.

Word 2007 mail merge : problem with mixed portrait and landscape orientations

Hi there,
I have a 3 pages document Word 2007 file
This is a mail merge I want to export in PDF using Adobe Acrobat Printer,
then send "big" PDF to printing.
page 1 is PORTRAIT
page 2 is PORTRAIT
page 3 is LANDSCAPE
In PDF pages 1 and 2 are perfectly fine, inside an A4 format (width=210 height=297mm or something)
but for page 3, system changed to a "double" sized page (A3 width=297 height=420) and printed my stuff at the 1st top middle of big page.
So I have a big "double" sheet, oriented PORTRAIT, with my stuff in 1st half, and a blank in 2nd half.
It seems that system did not rotate the page... and just put the stuff into a bigger sheet to "solve" at best.
I would like the same size of paper (A4) but in landscape : width=297 height=210
I have already seen many PDF with mixed portrait and landscape orientations, so what's the thing ?
With my advanced thanks,
And greetings from Paris, France !

Some questions:
Which version of office were you using before? 2003?
Are the data files on a network, or on your local machine? If they are on a network, can you make a copy of one of them on your local machine and try again?
Can you open the files directly in Excel? What extension do they have (.xls, or something else?) I am wondering whether access to other file types has been left blocked on your machine but is allowed on your colleague's machine.
Are you just opening the mail merge main document and seeing this message? If so, do you see the same thing if you start with a new document and try to connect to one of these data sources?
Can you confirm that the message is about Access even though you are trying to connect to an Excel file?
(Also, office 2007 has some new stuff - that let's you specify that certain folders are "trusted" . I don't think that ever affected MailMerge but it may be as well to make sure that your documents and data sources are in trusted locations).
Also worth trying to start Word in "Safe mode" - see, e.g. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/work-with-office-safe-modes-HP010140792.aspx
