CSS @page rule print landscape

This was a fairly recent frustration… However whilst we can manipulate the requirements for over 550 users, its still a very frustrating and tedious problem, and spending the time to print in landscape format via PDF was not really an option.

Conclusion: forget about @page for the present. If you feel your document needs to be printed in Landscape orientation, ask yourself if you can instead make your design more fluid. If you really can’t (perhaps because the document contains data tables with many columns, for example), you will need to advise the user to set the orientation to Landscape and perhaps outline how to do it in the most common browsers.
