Can you change to landscape and keep this change until you want to revert back to portrait?
As far as I can see, if you want a topic to be viewed in landscape, it has to be started on a new page, regardless of what proceeds it.

Re: Changing and keeping landscape in pdf
Hi Gareth,
At the moment this is a function of the page break tool, which will only apply to the current topic. I've asked our developers if it would be possible to add a "From here" option to it, so that it would continue for all topics from that point until switched back.

Hi Gareth,
Update: It seems that there are deep technical reasons for this choice and making the page break tool's switch to "from here" for additional topics would cause a cascading series of unexpected problems that would be difficult to deal with. What you can do is create a single topic that masquerades as multiple topics:

What you can do is create a single topic that masquerades as multiple topics:
- Put the content of all the consecutive topics in a single topic (don't overdo this...)
- Create headings at the points where your internal topics are going to start and insert anchors just above the headings
- Create additional TOC entries pointing to the same entry and linking to the anchors. Use TOC Link - Link to topic in this project in the Add Topic tool to do this
