[Solved] Print a document with multiple page orientations

[KALWI]

Hi,

I have recently created a 21-page document for work which I want to be printed double sided.

However, because each page has different tables and forms, some pages are set to landscape and others are set to portrait by using Page Styles.

When I go to print my document, I can only print via portrait or landscape which means the vice versa orientations are cut off as they don't fit the page.

Is there any way to print my document with the page orientations remaining as both portrait and landscape?

Thanks,

Alex.

I've had problems printing landscape pages with AOO 3.4.1 also.

I work around it by first exporting to pdf, then printing from the pdf viewer.

It's not that though it's just that I have 21 pages in one document. Some of the pages are set to portrait and some of them are set to landscape. However I can only seem to print off in portrait (which cuts off my landscape tables) or in landscape (which cuts off my portrait tables). I need to be able to print the document where it can determine what page is portrait and what page is landscape so that it prints the pages out in the right orientation.

Sorry, I don't see what you're after.

If you have mixed orientations, and you see the different page layouts on your screen, then when you print, the printer should be able to handle printing in either orientation as needed for each page. It shouldn't matter what the print options are set for, each page should tell the printer what orientation it needs.

I see a problem printing directly from OOo, but not when I export to pdf and then print the pdf.

So if I export the file to pdf, the printer should print my work in in the appropriate orientations?

Well ... it should work when you print directly.

It's easy enough to try the pdf route and see if it works any better.

It didn't work when I printed directly from OO however I have converted it to a pdf and there is an option for the orientation to differentiate depending on the orientations of my pages! Works a treat! Thanks!
