Printing 2-up landscape pages in proper sequence

I'm printing a 44-page pdf document to pdf file.
To reduce length of printed version, printing 2-up landscape, auto-rotated and centered.
If I send to file, then open, pages print in 2-1, 4-3, 6-5 sequence.
If I send to file with pages 2-up landscape in reverse order, pages print from 44 down to 1, but all pages are correctly sequenced, i.e., odds on the left and evens on the right.
What settings should I use to get pages sequenced 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 etc., reading from the front of the document?

Sounds like your ad is 8.5 x 11, with a full bleed. Set up a document in InDesign for 12 x 18, and then place your InDesign files into the 12 x 18 document, keeping in mind that if the ad acutally does bleed, you want to select bleed bounding box in the place options. You also need to arrange the 12 x18 document for a gutter.

Printing Portrait and Landscape pages on same report

Hi all,
Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2
Oracle Reports Builder 6i
I am developing atwo-sided EBS report which I require to detail invoice lines in Portrait orientation on one side and then have a landscape layout detailing other related information on the back.
I am using the Main Section to display the Portrait orientation and the Trailer Section to display the Landscape orientation.
This is producing the correct output when there is one invoice. However when there are multiple invoices selected in the Data Model, all the Portrait Invoice Line pages (Main Section) are printed first and then the Landscape Additional pages (Trailer Section).
Does anyone have any suggestions to get around this issue?
Kind Regards,
Gary.

In the pages panel, choose Rotate Spread View from the panel menu.

Print the report on page has width larger than height and not landscape mode

Hi,
I'm trying to print report on page (Width: 18cm, Height: 13cm) which the width larger than the height.
The problem is windows keeps changing the page oreintation to landscape and when I change it back to portrait its changing the width to 13cm and height to 18cm.
I'm using dot matrix printer to print the report, if i put Landscape , printer is printing the text in horizontal.
Already i have tried to setup the custom for on printer, and used custom page size but it is changing to landscape.
I need to print the report with out preview, direct print top printer, NO PDF....
Thank you .....

Hi Anil,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. When I set (Width: 18cm, Height: 13cm) as the Report Page size, it would automatically convert Orientation from Portrait to Landscape. Because the Orientation displayed is dependent on the page
width and page height of the report.
But in my scenario, the Orientation option just change the Width and Height sizes, it couldn’t affect the text rotation. I guess this issue can be caused by the printer and printer driver, please try to update them. Reference:

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.

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.

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…

Landscape page printing problem in report 3.0

Hi,
I am facing the problem in printing the report output on the
landscape page from report 3.0.I have changed the system
orientation property from default to landscape.But still report
output printing on as a portrait page.
Is there any another way to print the report output on the
landscape page ?
Thanks
Mohammad

Have a look at System Parameter Orientation in your affected
Report.
I think from Reports 6i on you'll also have the Orientation
Property in Header-, Body- and Trailor-Section of Layout Model.

Reader 8.1.2 still cannot print landscape pages

Hi,
AR 8.1.2 still doesn't print landscape pages correctly - the pages are printed as portrait exactly like in topic for AR8.1.1:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c0604d8/3
I'm using Suse Linux Destkop, with cups version cups-1.1.23-40.35.
The printouts are correct using another pdf software (or printed via command line).

Hello Stefan,
I believe you are trying to print a PDF with pages in landscape orientation by choosing the "Landscape" radio in the print dialog. Is that correct?
Could you check if the printer you are printing to supports Custom media size? (You could do that by looking at the printer options at http://localhost:631). You would not face the problem you mention if you try configuring your printer with a different driver (say which supports custom media size, unless the feature is not supported by your printer itself).
As a workaround try choosing the "Portrait" radio button in the print dialog and selecting the "Auto Rotate and Center" checkbox. This should give you the expected results.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Neha

My HP2000 - 210, running under Mandriva 2011 Linux, will not print landscape pages properly

If I try to print a landscape page, it works ok for the first 180 mm or so, then prints several copies of a narrow section of the remainder. Looks as though it tries to stay with Portrait

I am having the same problem. I 've soaked the heads, I've put genuine ink in. I've tried everything but cannot get it to print in the Black XL. Prints all other colors and the photo black, but no in text black. So irritated right now !!!
HELP ! ! !
I've even did a hard factory reset.

Print preview in Landscape

Hi
I have a strange case. I have google through the net still not able to find any proper solution.
Issue: : In my application i have reports. When i do print preview, the reports get displayed in portrait format. Is there any way through which i can set the window's default page set up to landscape (through JSP/CSS/Javascript).
~Aman

Set the printer properties to landscape. Also, there may be an issue with auto-rotate.

HP L7680 Printer Alignment Failing and only prints magenta on test pages

Hi,
My printouts have been getting a little streaky so looked at the mataining printhead section in the manual. It says about how to clean the contacts and I followed this perfectly. I also took this opportunity to change all the ink cartridges after doing the suggested head clean before starting the process.
Now I keep getting the "alignment failed" error and when I print out a self test report it is only in magenta. Also the printout which happens at the end of alignment sequence only has magenta " N's " on it and nothing else.
When I print out a pdf page there is no black, but yellow and red colours are there.
I have reset the printer using the # with 6 and 9 and this does not help.
After each reset and alignment sequence the printer goes though various functions which takes about 15-20 each time and has used a lot of ink.... My brand new 88XL cartridges which cost about £75 are now less then half full and i've not even printed a proper page yet.
Can someone from HP please get in touch to tell me the solution before I waste any more ink.
Regards

Printing problem with muliple page 2D graphics.........URGENT

/*hi
I want to print the drawings that i create in my painting application.
Following is the extract from my drawing application, which takes care of the printing part. The problem i am facing is that, i am able to print only one page, the other parts of my drawing are clipped (both from the horizontal as well as vertical direction)
However i did found some help on printing multiple page TEXT documents, from some literature, but nothing was mentioned about printing drawing that may extend to multiple pages.
Since printing forms a very important part of any painting application, the whole of my project now relies on the success of the printing code. Its really urgent for me to get out of this problem, any kind of help from anyone would be a great contribution in completing my project */

          System.out.println("THE ORIENTATION IS "+ landscape);
          printJob.print(); }
catch (Exception PrinterExeption) { PrinterExeption.printStackTrace();}
and it doesnt seem to work as I tried it both as landscape and portrait in the print dialog but landscape is always 0.

FrameMaker 10 Save as PDF and landscape pages

Using FrameMaker 10 on Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit system - When I use the Save as PDF function on a book containing both portrait and landscape pages, the landscape pages are clipped to portrait mode. If I print to Adobe PDF, the page orientation is correct in the PDF, however, no bookmarks are generated. If I check the Convert CMYK colorsto RGB setting in the PDF Setup for Selected Files dialog box, then the page orientation in the PDF is correct, and the bookmarks are generated as they were in FrameMaker 8.
Is there a method to this madness?

I have Acrobat 8 Pro. The explanation of the RGB mode with XP makes sense. I did not know that. Makes me wonder how Frame 8 was producing all the nice PDFs we have used for the last couple of years.
I tried that setting because I saw others were having issues with that and wondered if there was a relationship between the two. Just a guess.
Printing to a file and distilling it does not produce a PDF at all.
Thanks for your help.

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.
