How to get a pdf printout in landscape format?

Question

This is with reference to this thread How to make a pdf printout occupy the entire A4 page.

I am able to bring all the content into a single page, but even if I set the printer preferences to landscape format, it doesn't print it.

What could be the problem?

Answer 1

Are you setting the orientation attribute of the tag? That attribute controls the orientation of the page, and you should set it to landscape.

From the Seam documentation

orientation — The orientation of the page. Valid values are portrait and landscape. In landscape mode, the height and width page size values are reversed.
