Page orientation

As a new MAC convert, I am attempting to orient a single page as landscape and the remainder of the document as portrait. Was unable to find this in the ipages help.

the magician,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
You won't find it in Pages' help files because it isn't in there. That's because it can't be done. Page orientation is determined in the Page Setup menu, which is outside of Pages. You can choose one or the other -- landscape or portrait -- per document. The way some users get around this limitation is to select all the elements on the one page you want to change, then use the Metrics inspector to rotate them.

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?

Page orientation when combining multiple postscript files to a pdf file

Hi
I'm having problems with the orientation of my pages when I generate pdf's from multiple postscript files.
I have 3 postscript files that need to be merged into 1 pdf, and they contain a mixture of portrait and landscape pages.
To create the pdf, I use the following code (because i have lots and lots of pdf files to produce)...
/prun { /mysave save def
     dup = flush
     RunFile
     clear cleardictstack
     mysave restore
} def
(D:/example/fileA.ps) prun
(D:/example/fileB.ps) prun
(D:/example/fileC.ps) prun
... however, when I run the above code (by saving the text file into the /in directory of a watched folder), whilst I get a pdf, the page orientation isn't right. For some reason, the first few pages are oriented correctly, then after about page 7 everything is portrait no matter what.
The funny thing is, when I simply double-click on one of the postscript files (eg. fileA.ps), distiller changes it to pdf and the orientation is perfect for each file separately (fileA, fileB, fileC). Even when I run the above code for just one ps file it works. But as soon as I put all 3 sub-files together it doesn't orient properly.
I've tried activating and de-activating auto-rotate in the PDF settings, as well as the DSC options in the Advanced tab, and whilst these changes do affect the pdf I get when I simply double-click a certain postscript file, it seems to have no effect when I try to combine the 3 files with the code above. I still end up with the first few pages oriented correctly, then after about page 7 everything is portrait.
Hope someone can help.
Danny

Ok i successfully generated my PDF files.
Now I'm having difficulties merging them. I use a DDX file named LiveCycleInput.ddx
What I do (everything in LiveCycle Workbench):
1) FileReader to open the .ddx file as a document (successfully)
2) Store the read document in a process variable (successfully)
3) Assembler.invokeDDX with following arguments:
Document DDX = process variable (read in 2)
OutputResult = "AssemblerResult" processVariable which has type AssemblerResult as specified by the documentation
Errorlog
Everytime I run the process I get the following stacktrace in my server's logfile:
... 119 more
Caused by: com.adobe.internal.pdfm.CollateralNotFoundException: DDXM_S14017: A <PDF> source document is required, but no documents were found for {PDF source="testFileDoc.doc.pdf" baseDocument="true"}.

at com.adobe.internal.ddxm.blueprint.pdf.SourceSegment.addDocumentsForAssembly(SourceSegment .java:91)
... 125 more
The .ddx file is stored in the same path as my generated .pdf files are stored.
Content of my DDX file (full copy paste)
<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
<PDF result="testFileMerged.pdf">
<PDF source="testFileDoc.doc.pdf"/>
<PDF source="testFileJpg.jpg.pdf"/>
<PDF source="testFileOdt.odt.pdf"/>
</PDF>
</DDX>
Note that the DDX file is read from a network drive(!!) the source PDF files are in the same folder as the ddx file (hence no further path-links).
Adding network paths to the source & result pdfs does not change a thing.
All PDF Files apart from the result pdf fiile are present in that same folder
I consulted the DDX reference multiple times and this is the simplest ddx that should work ... but it doesnt.
Can anyone help me?

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!

How can I change a print page orientation from portrait to landscape

How can I change the page orientation when printing from portrait to landscape?

By setting the print size -- ie rather than 6x4 use 4x6 - and to avoid unwanted cropping you need to crop the photo to the target ratio before printing ( you can undo the crop after printing if you do not want it to be permanent)

Change Default Page Orientation

After fiddling a bit with the settings in Ambrosia's Easy Envelopes (http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/easyenvelopes/) I now find that that the default orientation on the printer dialog is always landscape.
How do I change the default page orientation on either the Standard or a saved preset from landscape to portrait? (Yes, for a saved preset I tried clicking on the portrait image and selected "save" but that didn't change what was selected the next time.)
Thank you for your time and attention.
- nello

I am not sure what the Ambrosia software set, but the page format information - scale, orientation, and paper size - aren't saved in the presets you mentioned or when saving a new preset.
You could try deleting the com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist file from your home's Library/Preferences folder. Or you could use TextEdit to reset the orientation by bringing up the Page Setup dialog and changing the orientation to portrait and selecting Settings->Save as Default.
Hope this helps.

Landscape and portrait page orientation in forms.

Could anyone let me know how to have both portrait and landscape page orientations in a form.
Building an audit report and need (would be nice) to have both in one single form.
Regards,
Raffe.

Hi,
You just need to set up two Master Pages and then set the pagination for the design pages, as to which Master Page they relate to. There is an example here: http://assure.ly/ewrLMo. (have a look how the form uses both Master Pages).

How to change page orientation in Pages?

Hi,
I would like to change page orientation for Just one page inside a document.
Say I have page 3 that I want to be landscape and not vertical, how can I do it?
I haven't been able to find this in Pages, I found it in Word though.
Any idea?

The rotation in Preview is just a simple command in the .pdf. It all seems to sort itself out in printing, Acrobat has the occasional odd moment where pages are rotated from their real orientation. It is like the "cropping" in .pdf files which really doesn't cut anything off it just changes the bounding box so what you see appears to be cropped.

How to get page orientation in acrobat plugin?

Is there any method in acrobat SDK or PDFLibrary to get the page orientation from the plugin
the way we have PDPageGetRotate?
Other doubts are:-
- is it manually possible for the user to change the orientation of a page or its fixed at the time of creation of a PDF?
- does the word quad changes when the user changes the rotation of a page?
- does the word quad changes when the orientation of a page is changed?
Also, is it possible to convert the word quad coordinates across the PDF page orientations??
Let me know ASAP.
Regards
Anagha

Hi Bill@VT, do you mean to say rotating a page changes the orientation of a page in PDF??
Also, i observed that when a PDF page in portrait mode is rotated, the word quad's remain the SAME; however if i recreate the same PDF in landscape orientation, then the quads of the words CHANGES. I clearly want to know the difference between the two for every aspect like will the word finder and word quad's work the same for both orientation as well as rotation? I think the XY axes gets changed when orientation changes which makes the word quad change. Let me know your suggestions and detail explanation on this.
Also, please address the questions raised in the 1st post.
Thanks.

Lost reverse page orientation in page setup in CS2 going from 10.4 to 10.5

I do a lot of hi quality printing for CDs & DVDs using Photoshop CS2. With OS 10.4.11 in page setup from the file menu, I had three icons (for landscape, portrait, and reverse portrait). Now with 10.5.8 - I have only two.
Some programs like Preview have a box to check for "reverse page orientation" in the "page setup" menu or in the print submenu for "layout", but not CS2. (Preview prints to fill the page not to accurate size)
Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a secret way to bring up the reverse page orientation option that I just haven't discovered?
This really messes me up for precise double sided printing - and it makes me wish I'd stuck with 10.4.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

See my new question (July 2011) and replies re this matter.
BDAqua came up with the answer, which is to save a reverse version in Photoshop of the images to be printed reverse, and then those images directly in the usual portrait setup in the printing dialogue. This way, I won't be dependent on having a reverse image orientation option in the printer setup. (lost for Photoshop CS2 in OS 10.5)
Again - I appreciate the help.

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,
ph.
