Forum How do I...?

Rotating tables

yet
We have some reports with pretty wide tables and I want them to appear on a different page in landscape mode.

Doable?

Definitely! This is the exact use case that named pages were invented for.

Named pages do the job however there is a side-effect: page numbers located originally within bottom-right are now moved to top-right and rotated...within the named page the page number would have to appear inside bottom-left and rotated...doable somehow?

Not yet, but it's on the development roadmap:
Add a mechanism to control the orientation of page headers/footers on landscape pages. (A new CSS property for @page rules?)

Prince 10 is now available, and includes a new @page property called prince-rotate-body which can be used to create landscape pages more conveniently.
