Print horizontal or vertical pages using Acrobat or Reader

Search

You can change the orientation of a page when it prints. For example, you can print a page horizontally (landscape) or vertically (portrait). You can:

• Automatically rotate pages when printing

• Manually rotate pages when printing

The Auto-Rotate And Center option in the Print dialog box automatically selects the page orientation that best matches the content and paper. For example, a spreadsheet could print horizontally, while a newsletter could print vertically. The Auto-Rotate And Center option overrides the orientation selected in Page Setup (Acrobat 10.x) or Print Setup (Acrobat 9.x).

Choose File > Print.

In the Page Handling area of the Print dialog box, make sure that Auto-Rotate and Center is selected. (This option is selected by default.)
