No, you just need to set stylesheet parameter page.orientation to landscape Reference: http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/page.orientation.h tml > I just want to do it for this one document, not for any others. > This is possible, to a certain extent. --> First, you need to specify parameter page.orientation=landscape for DocBook 5 documents converted to PDF. Please follow this procedure: [1] Open your DocBook 5 document. [2] Select menu item "Options|Customize|Change Document Conversion Parameters". [3] Using the "Group of parameters" combobox, select "Convert to PDF, PostScript". [4] Click "Add". [5] Type: page.orientation in the "Name" field. Type: landscape in the "Value" field. (See attached screenshot page_orientation_landscape.png). [6] Click OK twice. You can now generate a PDF having a landscape orientation. --> If you want, you can save the above parameter set (i.e. page.orientation=landscape) for subsequent use. This is done by: [1] Open any DocBook 5 document. [2] Select menu item "Options|Customize|Change Document Conversion Parameters". [3] The "Change Document Conversion Parameters" dialog box has a "Parameter Set" menu. Select menu item "Save". This displays the "Parameter Set" dialog box. [4] Type "pdf_landscape" as the name of your current parameter set. (See attached screenshot pdf_landscape.png) [5] Click OK to close the "Parameter Set" dialog box. [6] Now that the current parameter set has been saved as "pdf_landscape", remove PDF parameter page.orientation=landscape (the inverse actions of adding it) and use menu item "Parameter Set|Save" to save your normal settings as "normal". If you need to convert DocBook 5 documents to PDF/landscape in the future, you'll have switch between "pdf_landscape" and "normal" using menu item "Parameter Set|Load".
