Setting the orientation of a table to landscape

Last Updated : May 27, 2021 |
For tables with larger number of columns, you can set the table to appear in landscape orientation in your PDF output. This option is supported for the Avaya Book, Avaya Jobaid, and Validator PDF outputs.
Prolog information
  • When you apply this option, the actual page in the PDF still appears in portrait orientation; the table is rotated on the page to appear in landscape orientation.
  • The landscape option is only supported for tables using the <table> element. It cannot be applied to <simpletable> or <parttable).
  • When you apply this option, a page break is inserted right before and right after the <table> element in the output.
  • If you include a <title> or <desc> option in the <table> element, the title and description appear in landscape orientation as well.

  2. Double-click or select the <table> element.
  3. In the Attributes window, select land from the orient field.
