book with portrait and landscape pages

[IJsqueen]

I am making a year report in pagemaker, using the book function. However, some of the publications are portrait while others are landscape.

When I generate a PDF out of all of the publications, the landscape pages get "cut" left and right and are shown in portrait fashion.

When I change landscape pages in PM to portrait and rotate the content 90 degrees, acrobat all of a sudden recognises a landscape page and turns the page landscape in the pdf.

This is the effect I want, but I hardly want to rotate the content of 50 some pages in my publication.

Should I go about this another way? Is there a setting, or should I merge PDF's of the various publications?

Hi, IJsqueen,

Yes, mixing Portrait and Landscape is not one of PM's strengths when using the Book Function.

It's some time since I did what you're doing and ISTC having to check the the printer settings in each file.

The easy option is to rotate the pages through 90º in Adobe Acrobat.

Iechyd da! John
