Page Orientation during printing
Hello - If I have a Word doc with both portrait and landscape pages in it,
when I print it the landscape pages print with the footer on the left side of the page when it is bound in to a book. This presents a problem when I am send the document to the a copy company (a quick print type company) that is going to print mulitple copies of the book. I generate a PDF which goes to the print company, they then crank out the number of books I want. The landscape pages tend to be forms or other items that the user of the book completes either in a classroom environment or on their own. But if I have the books bound, let's say with comb binding, the orientation of the page is such that the comb binding is at the bottom of the page, which makes it quite difficult to use. So the question is - Is there somewhere in I can define the orientation or the landscape pages? I've looked around but have not been able to find anything. I am using 2007. Thanks in advance HH |

Page Orientation during printing
After creating the PDF, can you rotate individual pages?

No - the PDF format does not allow for changes. It's not the PDF that does
this it's the Word doc, if the doc is printed directly from Word the same problem occurs. So what I need is a solution in Word to orienting the pages during the print cycle. Thanks. "Suzanne S.

Do I understand that the issue is that you wish to rotate the landscape
pages by 180 degrees, so that they print upside down, or is the issue that of header/footers covered by http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...apeSection.htm ? If the former, then I know of no way to invert the page in Word that would leave it inverted when converted to PDF - short of the method shown at http://www.gmayor.com/rotate_text.htm If you were printing the document then for individual pages you can set an option in most printer drivers to print inverted - and Acrobat has an option to rotate the output left or right, but for mixed pages you would may have to use a postscript driver to create the printed output and send commands from Word using the Print field to switch orientation. To this end, you would be better advised to ask in the Acrobat forum. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Chief775 wrote: Hello - If I have a Word doc with both portrait and landscape pages in it, when I print it the landscape pages print with the footer on the left side of the page when it is bound in to a book.
