[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-4789) PDFBox not honoring page
orientation when printing PDFs with mixed orientation to PS
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4789?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17053457#comment-17053457 ]

What "preview"?
It doesn't have to be a bug. Printable and Pageable are different classes. I'm not an expert in java printing, so I googled:
"the second difference between Pageable and Printable is that each page of a Pageable may have a different PageFormat associated with it. This is useful when a document contains pages in portrait orientation and some pages in landscape orientation, for example."
So to me this sounds as if using Pageable is the right thing to do.

> Key: PDFBOX-4789
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4789
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Rendering
> Affects Versions: 2.0.19
> Environment: Mac OS X, with Preview used as the PDF and PS viewer
> Reporter: Ulf Dittmer
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: PDFBox PS export bug.pdf, PDFBox PS export bug.pdf.ps, PDFtoPS.java, Pageable-PDFBox PS export bug.pdf.ps
>
>
> When using PDFBox to print a PDF containing both portrait and landscape pages to PS, the output has only Portrait pages. It's not that the landscape pages have been rotated, just that the resulting page has portrait page dimensions. Attached is an example PDF, the Java code used for printing to PS, and the resulting output.
>
> The PS has a BeingSetup/EndSetup section specifying the orientation only ahead of the first page. If I manually add one ahead of the second page with appropriate page dimensions ("792.0 612.0" instead of "612.0 792.0"), it looks good.
>
> Is this a bug in PDFBox or a bug in the Java print system? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3453? leads me to believe it might actually be the latter.
