Subject:Re: Landscape pages--Word to PDF From:CHRISTINE ANAMEIER <CANAMEIE -at- email -dot- usps -dot- gov> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 4 Oct 2001 16:42:39 -0400
Rick asked:
"One of my co-workers just asked me why his landscape pages went
portrait when he converted his Word file to PDF. Both he and I are old
Framers, and we know it's possible in Frame. Not so much in Word?"
When you print to Distiller, you may have to go into Properties in the
Print dialog box and select Landscape there. The orientation really
should carry over from your Word page setup settings, but apparently
it doesn't, at least in the version I use (Distiller 4).
