Bug ID: 160618
Summary: LibreOffice (Draw) can't rotate orientation (landscape
document into portrait) for printing
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.5.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Draw
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: had...@danisch.de
Hi,
I'm currently trying to use LibreOffice (Writer and Draw) to print Paper Labels
with a Label Printer (brother QL-820NWBc).
Problem:
The Label Stickers are fed to the printer in Portrait orientation (Example:
29mm width, 90mm height).
To ease editing, I try to create Labels in landscape mode (i.e. widht 90mm,
height 29mm), to have the text readable.
Whatever I tried, LibreOffice seems to be completely unable to rotate a
landscape document by 90° to fit into a portrait orientation paper. It has
options to keep the original size or to shrink it to fit onto the paper, but
whatever I tried, the text remained in horizontal orientiation and never fit
the vertical paper format.
the only way is to define the page in portrait mode, and to rotate the text,
i.e. have it difficult to read while editing.
That's a severe flaw. A document tool should be able to rotate a landscape
document by 90° to be printed on a printer, since all printers get their paper
in vertical/portrait mode.
