Nicolas DUFAILLY commented on PDFBOX-6005:
------------------------------------------
One additionnal comment that may be intersting to share ;
I checked on above printers that LANDSCAPE and REVERSE_LANDCSAPE effectively
prints each in one different "direction".
It how appears that there's no consensus on printers/drivers (or at least 1
exception detected from my side) about in which "direction" LANDSCAPE states
(the same for REVERSE_LANDSCAPE). Said the for some printer, REVERSE_LANDSCAPE
was "turned to the left" whereas on another one it was "turned to the right".
Clearly not the scope to PDFBOX to manage that (IMHO), but good to know for
someone that would have to manage some similar orientation cases. For my
company, we managed so this driver/printer vs. orientation particularity
upstream from calling PDFBOX (which so use the orientation we provide while
calling).

> Key: PDFBOX-6005
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-6005
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 3.0.3 PDFBox, 3.0.5 PDFBox
> Environment: Windows Server 2019 ; OpenJDK 18.0.2
> Reporter: Nicolas DUFAILLY
> Priority: Major
> Labels: landscape, print, printing
> Attachments: PDFBOX-6005.git_patch
>
>
> I currently use PDFBOX (3.x) to print PDF in my company towards printers
> supplied with preprinted paper (company branding, legal elements and so on).
> The same printers are addressed by other legacy softwares that also prints on
> such papers.
>
> Problems came for landscape orientation documents (preprinted paper is
> landscaped). Documents printed from other softwares have heading oriented
> (let's say) to the left whereas documents printed thru PDFBOX have header
> oriented the opposite side (to the right so). Thus, half of the documents are
> printed upside down regarding the paper preprinted elements.
>
> As other legacy software are proprietary without evolution possibility, lone
> foreseeable solution would be supporting printing a new way for the PDFBOX
> printed documents.
