To change it, other than by shrinking the page down so it fits on the paper in landscape orientation I think you would need to use a pdf editor to reflow the content. If you have a document or image that you are converting to a pdf then if you format the document or image landscape then the exported pdf will also be landscape. -- Marjorie _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
