Hi Kari,

Essential PDF supports the Orientation of pages in a document. The PageOrientation property of a PDF document is used to assign the orientation type. LandScape Orientation and Portrait Orientation are supported.

Here is a sample code.

[C#]

// To create Landscape orientation.
pdfDoc.LastPage.Orientation = PageOrientation.Landscape;

// Create second page.
pdfDoc.CreatePage();

// To create Portrait Orientation.
pdfDoc.LastPage.Orientation = PageOrientation.Portrait;



[VB.NET]

' To create Landscape orientation.
pdfDoc.LastPage.Orientation = PageOrientation.Landscape

' Create second page.
pdfDoc.CreatePage()

' To create Portrait Orientation.
pdfDoc.LastPage.Orientation = PageOrientation.Portrait

you can find a sample at the following path demonstrating various page setting that can be made with Essential PDF

C:\Program Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\4.3.0.30\Windows\Pdf.Windows\Samples\Grid Model\Settings\PageSettings


Please take a look and let me know if you need any further assistance.

Regards,
Ajish.

Ok, it may be here where my problem is: I would like to use the "Flow Model" (not the grid model).

Does the Flow model also have similar functionality?

Thanks for the help,

Hi Kari,

We do have option for setting page orientation in Flow model. Here are some code to do this:

[C#]
// Create a section in pdf document
IPDFSection section = document.AddSection();

// Create Landscape orientation.
section.PageSetup.Orientation = PageOrientation.Landscape;

// Create another section in new page
section=document.AddSection();
section.BreakCode = SectionBreakCode.NewPage;

// Create Portrait orientation.
section.PageSetup.Orientation = PageOrientation.Portrait;

[VB.Net]
'Create a section in pdf document
Dim section As IPDFSection = document.AddSection()

'Create Landscape orientation.
section.PageSetup.Orientation = PageOrientation.Landscape

'Create another section in new page
section = document.AddSection()
section.BreakCode = SectionBreakCode.NewPage

'Create Portrait orientation.
section.PageSetup.Orientation = PageOrientation.Portrait

Here is a sample for your reference:

Please take a look into it and let me know if you have any queries.
