Control the orientation of PDF pages by specifying portrait or landscape mode
The orientation
parameter allows you to control the orientation of pages in the generated PDF.
When generating a PDF, you can choose between portrait (taller than wide) or landscape (wider than tall) orientation. The orientation
parameter lets you specify which orientation to use for all pages in the document.
Controls the orientation of pages in the generated PDF
Available options: portrait
, landscape
portrait
: Creates pages that are taller than they are wide, suitable for typical documents, articles, and reports.landscape
: Creates pages that are wider than they are tall, ideal for content with wide tables, charts, or images.This parameter is particularly useful for:
Data visualization: Use landscape
for documents containing wide charts, tables, or diagrams that benefit from horizontal space.
Photo collections: Use landscape
for displaying wide-format photographs or panoramic images.
Standard documents: Use portrait
for typical text-heavy documents, articles, and reports that read vertically.
Presentation handouts: Use landscape
for materials derived from slide presentations to maintain the original aspect ratio.
The orientation
parameter works in conjunction with the size
parameter. When both are specified, the orientation is applied to the specified page size.
In this example, the PDF will be generated with A4 pages in landscape orientation.
