Printing to Landscape format, not Portrait

Hello,
I'm trying to turn a PDF that was created in Landscape format
into a Flash Paper SWF. When I drag the PDF onto Flash Paper, it
creates a SWF but in a Portrait (print) format. This isn't
acceptable because you can't read the content (unless you hold your
laptop sideways for the whole thing). I didn't see an option
anywhere in Flash Paper to set this. I imagine there must be a way
to do this?

After additional research I have found that the only way to get my labels to consistently print in landscape is to edit them with a previous version of Crystal.
I had hoped that I could save to a previous version from Crystal 2008 but there is no option to do this. I was thinking this because MS Word and MS Excel can saave to previous versions (2007 will save to 95 etc.)
Hope this helps others.

Comics printing in landscape format

apologies if this has already been addressed somewhere, but i was unable to find anything on a quick search.
i've been receiving the comics for some time now on my 8600 and they have been printing normally in the portrait orientation. but with no warning approximately four days ago, the pages started printing in landscape. and instead of the individual strips being sized to fit the page, they have been shrunken down to fit six comics on one page (again, in landscape format).
before the comics started printing incorrectly, no changes were made to the printer, except for setting the defaul print tray to tray 2. that being said, both print trays have always been, and are still set to accomodate (use) 8x11 paper.
can someone explain why the print orientation and sizing has randomly changed all of a sudden and how to fix it? i'm very frustrated with it and am ready to disable the comics because of the change. (and that would make me a *very* unhappy camper because i do enjoy getting them!)
any help is greatly appreciated. ty!

How to print in landscape format from SmartForms

I already choose a landscape page format in my output option. But when it printed out from the Zebra Xiii 110 printer, it is still in portrait format. Did I miss anything?

Hi Barry,
I am not printing to Front End computer (Option F). Instead, I am using Option U, Printing using Berkerly Protocol to a remote computer. In this case, how would the print format such as print orientation can be set?
Please let me know ASAP. Urgent.
Thanks

Report to be printed in Landscape format....

Hi ,
I have developed a report whose width (length from the left side... to right side , using a ruler) is 19,5cm at portrait......
The same report at landscape using a ruler is 15cm in width..... There are margins to both sides ....
The report was printed in A4 page size (portrait,landscpape) afterwards it was generated to PDF file... In other words , i generated the report to PDF file , i printed it in portrait , landspace and then i used a ruler to find out what is the width of each printing type.....
Why is this difference...??? Is there i can do in Report Builder for this report ....????
I use Dev Report10g.....
Many thanks,
Sim

It seems that the key to the solution is to shrink the margins.....
Greetings,
Sim

What could cause a printer to print in Landscape but not in Portrait mode?

Hello gurus,
We recently migrated our application from windows to linux. Specs are as follows
OS: RHEL 6
DB: 11.2.0.3
App: 12.1.3
Upon testing it was noticed that Oracle Applications successfully prints output files if they are in landscape mode but no output is received at the printer if the output is of portrait type.
The request ids show status 'Completed Normal' in both the cases.
Also printing directly from linux results in successful prints for both landscape and portrait.
The same issue exists when defining type as '--PASTA Universal Printer Type' or 'HPLJ4'
Any idea what files or settings could be causing this behaviour?

Printing only first page landscape not portrait

Acrobat Standard for Windows v.8
When using Acrobat to print any PDF document, the first page is printed in landscape instead of portrait, the rest of the pages print as expected. This is reproduceable behavior on a single machine. Printing the PDF using other applications like InDesign or eCopy Desktop print as expected. Only Acrobat is exhibiting this behavior.
Acrobat has been reapired, uninstalled and reinstalled, printer drivers reinstalled with no success. The work around I have figured out (as a temporary solution so the user can print documents properly) is to select to print the PDF in landscape orientation in the print driver when printing from Acrobat, which prints the whole document in portrait orientation, essentially what was supposed to happen in the first place. This orientation change only seems to affect the first page and doesn't have any affect on duplex orientation.
Does anyone have a solution to this one? Or some direction? Thanks in advance.

Try one of these:
1/ In Adobe, deselect "Choose Paper based on PDF size" - you can leave the "Auto Rotate and Center" on.
2/ In Adobe, go into Advanced and choose "Print as Image".
3/ If this is a Canon H1 Fiery RIP, go into Printer Properties, Printing Preferences, Layout, Rotate 180degrees and choose "Large Paper Only."

Documents only print in landscape mode even when portrait is designated. How do I fix this?

Documents will only print in landscape mode when portrait is disignated

How about changing the printer and printing something, then close Firefox and then restart your operating system? See if that helps ....
I am curious why you need two separate versions of the same printer installed. Is one used on a USB connection and the other part of a network configuration or wireless? If both are network or wireless, are they using a different IP address on the network they are on?
The only time I have seen a similar problem with Firefox not wanting to default to the "last used" printer was with a USB inkjet and a network connected laserjet (Brother) - the laserjet would go to "sleep" (energy saving mode) and Firefox would switch to the inkjet every time the laserjet was asleep. That problem was eventually solved when the USB inkjet was replaced by a "network" connected inkjet - still can't understand why that made the difference, though.

ABAP Report - Landscape format

I need to change the report display to landscape. Right now the report gets cut off at 178 characters. How do I allow for more than 178 characters, horizontally? Also, how can I ensure that the report prints in landscape format? I used FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS to set the print format to landscape but it still cuts off at 178 characters, with room for more.

Hi,
You need to specify Line size and Line count at statement "REPORT ZNAME".
Check below code, this report will have 60 rows and 220 columns.
REPORT ZNAME LINE-SIZE 220 LINE-COUNT 60 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.
More Information:
... LINE-SIZE width
Effect
This addition specifies the line width of the basic list and details list of the program to width characters, and sets the system field sy-linsz to this value. The line width determines the number of characters in the line buffer as well as the number of columns in the list displayed. The value width must be a positive numeric literal. The maximum line width is 1,023 characters.
LINE-COUNT page_lines (footer_lines)
Effect
This addition specifies the page length for the basic list of the program to page_lines lines and fills the system field sy-linct with this value. If the LINE-COUNT is not specifed, and if page_lines are less than or equal to 0 or greater than 60,000, then the page length is set internally to 60,000. This setting overwrites the passed value of the like-named LINE-SIZE addition to the statement SUBMIT and can be overwritten during list creation with the like-named LINE-COUNT addition to the statement NEW-PAGE.

Can't print in Landscape mode since installing Snow Leopard

Since the installation of Snow Leopard 10.6.2 I can't print in landscape format from application such as Word, powerpoint, Turbo Cad, etc, on my network printer. This is despite changing my page set-up and printer settings My only work around at the moment is to print to a PDF document and print a hardcopy from there. Any thoughts...??

Hi fruhulda,
1000 thanks for your help. I've tried everything you suggested. Nothing really fixed the problem except creating a new account. In the new account, I could open and use Pages documents I had created before I switched to Snow Leopard. And all of the functions seemed to work properly, including copy and paste.
In order to use my old, pre-Snow Leopard documents, I had to put them into a shared folder, so that I could access them from my new account. Does this mean I'm going to have to move ALL of my files from my old account into a shared folder, bring them into the new account, and make the new account my main account? If so, that seems like a lot of annoyance and a lot of work. Not that I'm blaming you--thanks for the fix. It just would have been nice not to have to start from scratch.
Also one or two worrying things came up when I did my disk repair, namely, the following two messages:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFramework/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Resou rces/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.
I did some looking around in old forums and other people have gotten these messages before and seemed to be pretty worried about them. I don't really understand what they mean, and I guess I'm wondering if I should be worried about them too.
Again thank you very much for your help so far.

Trying to print a jpeg (not a photograph). No matter what setting i select, it prints in landscape. How do I get portrait printing?

Trying to print a jpeg (not a photograph) in Elements 12. No matter what setting i select, it prints in landscape. How do I get it to print in portrait?
Second question. What is the fastest way to change the number setting (0 to 12) for an existing photo so that the file size is smaller?

Go to File>print in Editor. In the dialog that comes up, you should see "Page Setup". Select "Portrait".
This assumes that the file is in portrait orientation as well, before sending it to the printer.
As for question #2, I am unaware of a numeric sequence such as you would like in this program. You can alter file size via File>save for web, however.

I am not getting Landscape format while printing the file. I am using the follwing code. Can anyone help me in this regard. its urgent.
public void printText(){

     } catch (PrintException e1) {
          e1.printStackTrace();
     } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
}

As a quick workaround... put the paper in the other way

Smartforms in Zebra Printer - Landscape Format

Hi all,
I have two issues....Kindly help me in this regard.
1) I have developed 9 labels in smart forms (all to be printed in Zebra printer) of which 4 should be in Landscape format. I have changed the settings in my smart form(Page>OutputOption>Landscape) for the 4 labels.So, when I give the printout of all the 9 labels these 4 alone should be in Landscape format ad the rest in Portrait format.
But, every label comes in Portrait format only.
2) In the above label in 1 particular label half of the label is completely black and only remaining half is seen.
I have used the device type :- ZLZEB2 based on the SAP Notes 750002 and 750772.
Kindly help me in this regard as the requirement is pretty urgent.Any information would be helpful.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramky.G

Hello Martin,
Yes, I know about the sap-notes and have tried the tips too. However, the printout is all mugged up on the same line. This my problem. I will try with new-line command and see if the lines print would be seperated line for line.
Do you have an example for me, with screen shots etc?
However, thanks. I have given points
Blacky.
