Different page layout within one document
Is it possible to have two different page layouts within one document? For example, Chapter 1 has portrait layout and Chapter 2 has landscape layout. If possible, how do I do it? I need it in PDF output

Re: Different page layout within one document
Hi Tansy,
This is not currently supported. It may be added in a future version, but that will not be in the short term. The problem here is the need to produce multiple output formats from one source. If Help+Manual was a single-format tool like Word or Acrobat it would be very easy. Then you just change formats as you go along. It is different when you have a generic source for multiple formats: Then you need to find a way to do things like this without interfering with the other formats for which it wouldn't be relevant, and without making the operation too confusing.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your response.
Is it possible to change the page layout for the entire document though?

Yes, of course. See Designing a Template > Master Page and Background in the Manual Designer help for instructions.Tansy wrote:Is it possible to change the page layout for the entire document though?
