Not able to create landscape docs in PDF XChange 4.0

Post by LindaH »

I have recently upgraded to PDF XCHange 4.0.0.147 and PDF XChange Viewer 2.0.0.36.

I am now encountering problems in creating pdf's from landscape docs, this happens as well in excel, powerpoint as mindmanager. When I am in such a landscape formatted doc, go to print and select pdf xchange as a printer, the preview does show a landscape doc. However, when the pdf viewer opens the pdf created is shows a portrait page with only part of the document on it, as if the landscape doc was cut of and the rest got pasted onto the portrait document.

Possibly there is a setting somewhere which needs to be corrected but so far I have not been able to find out what's wrong.

Thanks a lot for any help, would be greatly appreciated as I need this feature to create docs for my clients.

Thanks!

This belongs in the Print Driver forum

It sounds like you just have to go to printer setup and select the right paper before producing your PDF file.

Sorry about getting this posted on the wrong forum, moved it to the printer forum.

Now I have of course already checked that in the default printer set up landscape is selected, and I double checked in the printer properties when printing that landscape is selected. Wherever I can find settings for portrait or landscape, the landscape option is selected. And the preview shows a landscape doc. But still when the pdf doc is opened in viewer I see a portrait page with only part of the landscape doc on it.

Any further help would be great.

Thanks.
