PDF Include Page Rotate

[JamesBowen]

Hi

I am using the PDF Include to create a simple Address Label. Which I then send to Dymo label printer from linux. For the labels to print correctly the page contents of the PDF document need to rotated by 90 degrees.

So I am using the pdf_set_PageRotate procedure to do just what I want it to do. However this procedure does not affect the final output. The contents of the document has not been rotated. Why not?

I've had a crack at looking a the pdf_include.p code to try and figure it out but with no luck.

I need to resolve this quickly. Thanks.

INFO: pdf include version 3.3.3

It's OK, it's OK. CUPS to the rescue.

After testing the outputting the Address Labels via CUPS to a "Print Server", I found that CUPS had automatically rotated the label before sending it to the DYMO label printer so I don't need to worry anymore.

This worked first time!

Process Flow.

ABL --> PDF Include --> PDF File --> CUPS --> Print Server --> Dymo LabelWriter 400

1 day development. Only 9 labels outputted to achieved final result.

CUPS & PDF Include ROCKS.
