I currently have a 60 page document which all the pages are portrait 8.5x11 except (1) 11x17 landscape page. There are multiple section breaks and page breaks in the document. When I go to print the document as a whole, the 11x17 page will print upside down. In most cases, this would not be a problem since I could just turn the page around manually. In my case, this document is being sent around and edited by more that just our company and it will be printed in mass production. I need to find a way to get this page to print correctly. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how can I fix it?!?!
I appreciate all help in advance and hope to hear back from some people who have some resolutions :-)
Thanks,
Mark

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
A simpler way would be to set your printer to duplex by flipping on the short edge instead of the long one. That is required for landscape pages.
I found the solution. I had the same problem printing Landscape.
1- Print
2-Go to Adobe PDF properties
3- Layout
4- Select Rotated Landscape/ OK
Don't forget to select Orientation: Landscape and same in Page Setup.
This will solve the issue!
... but the wording and numbers become a foreign language...
Just a shot in the dark, but can you get satisfactory results by rotating the 59 8½×11 porttrait pages and leaving the 11×17 landscape alone?
Perhaps it is the combination of paper size, orientation and page rotation that is causing the illegible text.
Do you have the capability to print to .PDF and edit in Adobe Acrobat? Acrobat has a handy Document, Rotate Pages command that willl allow you to rotate any one or multiple pages within a document.
What is on that 11×17 page that makes it special? A spreadsheet or .DWG file perhaps? Knowing this may open up other avenues to produce the result you want.
This is most likely a setting in the printer driver. Do you get the same results on all printers?
Enjoy,
Tony
