Problem with autorotate

[punio]

Hi,

I'm using PDF-XChange Viewer for a bit and i never had any issues with it, but now it seems i found first one.

I'm trying to make a brochure on 200x205mm paper (200 widht x 205 height). I prepared pdf 95x205 (10mm for space on center between columns).

And now the issue:
Im opening prepared pdf and try to print it using pdf creator software. When i'm trying to set up scaling type to "brochure" - page is automagically rotated ccw and i'm getting 205x200.

How to disable this automagic?

Hi punio,

Thanks for the post - I have reproduced the issue, but it seems to only be an error in the preview of the measurements and no error in the output appears to be generated. You should be fine to print the document as you need it and, in the mean time, I will report the issue with the preview to the Dev. Team and a fix should be included in a later build.

Cheers,

Hi,

It looks that it's still not working properly.

I'm opening my pdf file (80 pages, 95x200mm each), then print -> PDF Creator -> Properties -> Advanced -> then i'm setting my own paper (200x205) ->closing this ->style: brochure (in this moment preview shows me 90CCW) - > print

And i'm getting 205x200 result.. Totally don't know why.

Looking forward for hearing from you

Hi punio,

I've just taken another look at this and the Driver is actually doing as it should be. What is happening, is the Driver will automatically rotate to fit the desired number of sheets on the one page, so to as you need, simply input the dimensions 'backwards' and all should be well.

I was trying to use different size, what means 205x200, but it looks like page is autorotated automagically to have ALWAYS longer value horizontally.

So, if i'm trying to use 205x200 it will not autorotate.. and 200x205 will.

I know this looks strange

Hi punio,

Please check your "PDF Creator" tool - and I believe you will find that if you change the sheet orientation from portrait to landscape you would be able to create the desired documents.

Also tried..

It looks, that if i'm trying to use "brochure", page ALWAYS will autorotate to have longer widht than height.

Any ideas?

Hi punio,

As stated earlier, this is done so that the desired amount of sheets to be printed will fit on one page. If the sheets of the specified page cannot fit on on the page, with the page dimensions as specified, it will rotate the page in order to git the sheets on one page. If you were to select the Multiple Sheets Per Page option --> 2 pages, you would see the same. If you then selected 4 pages, you would see the orientation rotate a second time.

Try altering the page size to make it large enough so that the 205x200 sheets do not force the auto-rotation.

Cheers,
