Hello, I cannot find the way to rotate a page (from landscape to portrait or viceversa) with its own content at once.
I searched a lot about, but I could not find any help.
I mean, I have clearly understood how to change a page format from portrait to landscape or viceversa, as well as I have understood how to rotate any page content.
However, what I really want to do is to rotate together the page and its content.
I need this because my scanner, by default, scan horizontally and then I need to rotate from horizontal to vertical.
Thanks for your support and kind regards, Andrea
I didn’t understand anything, sorry?
Why do you want to print a page from Draw and then scan it?
Most scanners I have used, come with software which enables you to create multiple “scan profiles” where you can preselect orientation, resolution, image file format, etc. If you are using MS Windows (which you did not indicate), there is also the builtin “scan and fax” app which allows for predefined and user defined scan profiles.
The Scan and fax app does have a somewhat dated user interface, but when you get used to it, it lets you work more smoothly than with the bundled apps I have tried. For scanning large batches I would not look for anything else. I have not found any similar app bundled on other platforms, but I never spent much time searching for it either. I suspect that there must be third party apps at least.
I created a python macro example, with a dialog, that allow shape to be rotated relative or absolute.
See Rotate Shape Macro Example.
I am posting it here just in case it is helpful.
Hello,
you ask a question based on a misconception. Changing the layout of a page from portrait to landscape is not a rotation operation but a redefinition of height and width of a page. Thus you have in fact two different operations
- Redefinition of how your page is dimensioned
- Rotation of an image object
which you can’t combine into a single operation (beside writing user code). Thus the answer to How to rotate a page and its content at once? is: Not at all, because you don’t rotate the page by any means, if changing the orientation.
You better should create a Draw template defaulting to a landscape page size, eliminating step 1. from above.
Hello Opaque, thanks for your clear reply.
Fully understood the key point: the change of a page format from landscape to portrait is not a rotation.
This really helped me.
Kind regards, Andrea
