             Summary: Printing based on the document orientation
                 Key: PDFBOX-1448
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1448
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: PDModel
    Affects Versions: 1.7.1
            Reporter: Thorsten Hake


We are using PDFBox in our current project to print a pdf file directly to an 
attached network printer. Printing PDF documents having only portrait pages 
within worked like a charm. 
 
However we experienced problems with PDFs having LANDSCAPE pages defined, as 
the orientation is currently always defined by the printer service and not by 
the PDDocument. This may be desireable in some situations but undesirable in 
others. Printing PDFs with PORTRAIT and LANDSCAPE pages in one document may 
lead to strange print results as the landscape pages are truncated to a 
PORTRAIT width.

It would be good to have a possibility to change the mechanism how the 
orientation will be determined. This also would allow to fix the following bugs 
without breaking the current semantics:
