Reports 6.0 Portrait vs Landscape in RTF output

I am having difficulty with RTF output in Reports 6.0. The print
preview of a report (with the system parameter orientation =
PORTRAIT)looks fine when previewing or printing from the
runtime, however, when I generate to an rtf file and open the
output in Word the document orientation is landscape and we are
forced to change the page setup for each report before printing
from Word. I am using Word 97 on NT 4.0 with service patch 3.0
and reports 6.0.5.28.0 on an Oracle 7.3.4 database. Can anyone
offer any suggestions?

I have this problem with Reports 3.0 too. It seems that it
has not been solved yet...

A single report can't combine portrait and landscape oriented pages

Post Author: joelo2
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi,
Can a single report in Crystal report XI (version 11.5.8.826) combine portriat and landscape oriented pages like Crystal report 2008? For example, I have one main report with several subreports in the main report. I want one subreport be in portrait page orientation and the other subreports in landscape. Can I do something like that in Crystal report XI version? I even tried writing a small .net program to do this, but it doesn't seem to allow me to do that programmatically either. Please help

I'd like to elevate this issue with Crystal Reports XI. There is a critical application which we developed in-house which needs both portrait and landscape orientation in each of the 30,000 plus documents we are sending out every month.If developers in Business Objects are picking this thread up - we need a patch for this limitation - quick. Right now, we are toying with the possibility of exporting the documents into a text format with markers indicating if a page is portrait or landscape. This is to be loaded into a Xerox machine (which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars), where it is mapped automatically to portrait or landscape. Note to Business Objects: This will provide us and countless others with much value. Think 80/20 rule - most bang for your development bucks and value for your customers!

How to include portrait and landscape subreports in 1 report

hi -- I have a report that will consist solely of subreports (about 60 of them). Individually, each subreport
is one page. Most of them are portrait, but a few are landscape.
It appears that all of the subreports have to be oriented in the same way; when I change the orientation of
a subreport within the main report, it changes the orientation of the main report (and all subreports).
Is there any way to get this to work? Or am I going to have to have 2 main reports: 1 for portrait subreports, 1
for landscape subreports?
Thanks,
Carol

Ido, Don - Thanks. Looks like it might be time to upgrade from CR11...
Don, can you clarify what you mean by using groups and suppression to reduce the number of subreports in
the main (or multiple main?) report(s)? I'm aware of grouping for data,
but it sounds like you might be talking about grouping of subreports? And how would suppressing play
into this?
Thanks much,
Carol

Portrait and Landscape pages in the same data.

We have to create a report, that contain Portrait and Lanscape pages in it. 1 portrait, 2 landscape, 3 portrait, 4 landscape, 5 portrait....
Even if the output designer show the first page portrait and 2nd as landscape, if we process the data it is all output as portrait and the 2nd page is cut, that it fits portrait.
Is there any command, parmeter to force JFMerge to place the data correct?

Just played a bit with Pages trying to do that.
The best I could come up with was to create the table in a separate Pages doc set to landscape, then take a screenshot of it. I then opened that in Preview and rotated the image 90 degrees, then saved it. I then dropped that adjusted image onto a separate page in the Pages doc set to portait.
This method, of course, requires that the table be 100% complete and finished, since no data-, text-, or info-level alterations can be made to it after it becomes a screenshot.

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…

Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.

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)

Error message when changing from portrait to landscape when printing

I receive an error message when changing from portrait to landscape when trying to print. How do I resolve this issue?

Hi hillclimbing,
Can you please let me know the exact error message you see as that would be helpful.
Does this occur with all the pdf files.
What OS and Acrobat version are you using?

Firefox is freezing (going to a black screen) whenever I rotate a web page from portrait to landscape view on a stock Motorola Atrix on a stable wifi connection. How do I fix this?

I'm running a stock Atrix with Android 2.3 (gingerbread). Yesterday afternoon I noticed that Firefox was taking a good 30 seconds to open whenever I tapped the Firefox icon on my phone. It's also freezing/going to a black screen anytime I rotated from portrait to landscape by rotating my phone. When this happens, the phone itself doesn't freeze (other programs still work if I hit the home key), but it takes a couple manual on-off cycles of the screen to wake Firefox up. Is there something I can do to fix this annoying problem without installing and reinstalling Firefox?

I have also found that unchecking the "Use hardware acceleration when available" option solves this issue. This option is in the Advanced section, under the General tab.

Browser "flip" from portrait to landscape doesn't work consistently

Hi, I just had to have my iphone replaced at the apple store because of a major dead spot in the touch screen. The second one now has a totally different problem. The feature that allows the orientation of the browser to "flip" between portrait and landscape (depending on the orientation of the phone) doesn't work most of the time. It will flip to landscape, but not go back. Sometimes it will flip opposite to the way I turned it, which means flipping the phone over. Now, it works, but only in one direction and won't flip back unless I hold it still for a few seconds.
Anyone else experience this?

you might want to try re-setting the phone. Hold the on/off switch and the center button down together until the screen goes black and the apple logo appears, then let go.
If it doesn't work, try troubleshooting for the "accelerometer" (thats the mechanism that allows the phone to switch to landscape view mode...

Portrait and landscape in the same document.

Hi there. I'm trying to print a portfolio that has both
portrait and landscape pages in it. I understand that I can change
printing propoerties to print in either portrait or landscape, but
is there any way to configure settings so that both are present in
the same document?
Many thanks in advance.

You can't do that in Pages. You either have portrait or landscape orientation of the pages. What you can do is rotating the content of the page if it is an image, objet or table.
If the document is for reading on the screen you can export the document to PDF and in Preview rotate the page.

I use to be able to rotate my iPhone and change the view of an image, Web page, email, and so on, from portrait to landscape, but after update, I cannot. I can only view in portrait mode. Anybody know what's up with that?

You need to do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B.
Restart phone
Reset phone
Restore in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure in the phone that needs evaluation by Apple.

How to create a single action for adding a border and signature for portrait AND landscape images???

i would love to be able to create a single photoshop action for adding a border, plus a signature in the bottom right corner, that works for both portrait and landscape images.
need i say more?!
i already have an action that adds a signature in the centre of the border at the bottom of the image e.g. the image below. what i want though is for that signature to be on the RHS and for the same action to work for portrait images as well.
supplementary info: reason for this is that I want to be able to export 300 wedding images (mix of landscape and portrait images) from lightroom in my pre-selected order (meaning the files are labelled from 001 to 300, ordered according to how the wedding day unfolded) and then use PS to add the border and the signature, in the same place, and for it to work for both orientations.
i need this to work for full sized exported jpeg images, i.e. i want the files that i give on CD to my clients to include my signature in this manner. so I don't want to copy the initial layer and then reduce the second layer size to leave a border around the second layer.
i hope i've been clear and that someone can help me here. I think that this sort of presentation makes such a difference to final printed image, and I DONT want to have to go to all 300 images picking out the landscape from portrait ones (although this may be what I have to do and wouldn't really take that long but surely there's a better way!!!!).
Thanks in advance photoshoppers ...

It is actually quite easy to do if you have a good understanding of how Photoshop works. To be able to handle any size Landscape and Portrait you need to scale the document to a known width or height. Once the document is resized to the width or height it easy. When yot resize the document you use Image size with resample NOT checked. Not a single image pixels is changed all the happens is the documents DPI is set to the proper DPI resolution to print that size. This lets you add a border sized for and document. You can use Canvas Size check relative and leatve the anchor point centered and set width and height to 2" this will add 1"on all sides. Use Canvas size a second time move the anchor point to the top center check relative and set height 1" the will add an additional 1" border on the bottom. You then record a text layer with your Name title or what ever to the top left of the image. Select all ant the align the text layer to the selection to move it to the bottom right.
Adding a couple of scripts to the action you can make sure there is a background layer so the added canvas will be filled with pixels. You can restore the document to its original DPI resolution to retain the images print size. Down load my crafting actions package it contains a dozen scripts to be used within actions. There are text file with tips and guidelines additionaly there is one on dealing with document size and includes a sample action set with a watermarking action the can watermark and size image. The Action set is also saved as a text file with additional comments I added my downloads can be found here http://mouseprints.net/Photoshop.html

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
