Print Portrait/Landscape PDF not working

PDFCreator PDFCreator English
1
Hello,
I currently have a problem in my application to print a document.
When I print the document to the printer "PDFCreator", the file is in portrait. Excluding the first page is normally only Landscape and others are portrait.

I am currently on version 1.7.0.

To print I simply use the standard printing in printer "PDFCreator" choice.

'configuration PDFCreator
                     Dim key As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey
                     key = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey ("Software \\ PDFCreator \\ Program")
                     key.SetValue ("AutosaveDirectory", strPath & "\")
                     key.SetValue ("LastsaveDirectory", strPath & "\")
                     key.SetValue ("AutosaveFilename", "")
                     key.SetValue ("AutosaveFormat", "0")
                     key.SetValue ("AutosaveStartStandardProgram", "0")
                     key.SetValue ("UseAutosave", "1")
                     key.SetValue ("UseAutosaveDirectory", "1")

Can you help me? Thank you very much.

Hi,


this is due to Ghostscript not being able to recognize the correct orientation in some cases.
You can try to change the settings in options->formats-PDF->“Auto-rotate pages”.
If that doesn´t work , you can use the PDF Architect for rotating single pages.

regards,

Robin

Since I upgraded to 1.7.1 everything is printed in portrait. Landscape is no more available. I tried the auto-rotate feature with no effect. I am using windows 8. Are you trying to impose PDF architect ? Sorry, I am not interested in. Regards. Bernard

it seems you are one more victim of GS9.07, which is included with version 1.7.1. Try using GS9.05 manually (by another recent thread in the English forum) or use PDFCreator1.6.2 where GS9.05 is included.

I’m having the same problem. I tried to install PDFCreator 1.6.2 but it’s still the same… Any suggestions?

Hi,

you can use the preview version of our new PDFCreator, where you can choose to force the orientation. http://forums.pdfforge.org/discussion/11150/testers-wanted-pdfcreator-rewrite-preview-version#Item_1

Thanks Robin.W


I installed this version, but how do I force the orientation?

I’m trying to print a drawing from MS Visio 2003. I’ve set the page orientation, both in Visio and PDFCreator, into landscape. So, when I do “print preview” in Visio, things looks as it should be. However, when I print it using PDFCreator, it rotates the drawing “only” into portrait, though the page is on landscape, which ends up cropping the actual drawing! Any clue why is that? Thanks for your efforts…

Hi,

set it under profile settings->pdf->general->page orientation.
Please try setting the orientation only in PDFCreator (or only in visio), otherwise it may get double rotated.

regards,

Robin
