change a specific page orientation

[AhmedAredah]

I have a document that is required to be in portrait orientation but one page (in landscape orientation). I tried to set the report orientation before and after the page but this did not work. is there a way to tackle this? Thank you.

Hello, and sorry for the delay.

I don't think this can be implemented, because QTextDocument works with a single pageSize()/setPageSize() value, while this would require a page size that changes in the middle of the document somehow. You'd have to file a ticket with the Qt project first to get that implemented.

I guess it would have to be implemented as part of QTextBlockFormat::setPageBreakPolicy like in word processors: the page break is the way to trigger the orientation change.

Thank you for your explanation. I will file a ticket for that asap on QT project.
