I am creating PDF documents via Crystal Reports using the Distiller print driver. Is there a way to programmatically change the orientation of a document? We recently upgraded to Acrobat 8.0 from Acrobat 4.0. Prior to the upgrade, I used PDFWriter for the landscape orientation, and Distiller for the portrait. The upgrade to 8.0 did away with PDF Writer, and I still need to create documents in both orientations. HELP!!!
In Distiller there is a setting that allows you to automatically rotate pages according to the direction of text. You can do this for all pages (to match the orientation of majority of text) or individually.
The Adobe PDF Settings dialog box in Acrobat Distiller contains panels of options that you can select turn this capability on/off.
Hope this helps,
Lori
