printing not correct for landscape

[ce03]

This pdf file is landscape, and is displayed as such in the browser. When I print it, it appears as half of a portrait page. If I use Print Preview I can change to landscape but I don't want to have to remember to do this.

Sample file - http://services.land.vic.goc.au/pdfjs/map1.pdf
Screen grab - http://services.land.vic.goc.au/pdfjs/map1.jpg

@ce03 The links are dead. Could you post new ones?

Is this still an issue with the latest viewer at http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html?

I made a mistake with the previous links .goc. should be .gov.

Sample pdf
http://services.land.vic.gov.au/pdfjs/map1.pdf

Displayed in browser

http://services.land.vic.gov.au/pdfjs/map1_displayed_as_landscape_in_browser.jpg

Displayed in FinePrint printer manager, and sending direct to printer
gives the same result

The problem still exists in PDFJS.version = '0.8.649'

Does anyone have any fix for this issue?

Acrobat has an orientation parameter in the printing dialog that can be set to auto, such as in:

Image linked from Adobe and it has another property selected.

Maybe it would be helpful that PDF.js implements page auto-orientation as default.

[jscher2000]

Could something like this help in adapting to the unknown orientation the browser will use:

@media print and (orientation: portrait) {
  /* Rotate page if it is landscape */
}
@media print and (orientation: landscape) {
  /* Rotate page if it is portrait */
}

Perhaps there should be a preference to turn that off for people who prefer to control the orientation themselves.

I've changed the following lines of code:
return pagesOverview.map(function (size) { if (isFirstPagePortrait === (0, _ui_utils.isPortraitOrientation)(size)) { return size; }
to
return pagesOverview.map(function (size, index) { if ((index == 0 && isFirstPagePortrait || index > 0 && (0, _ui_utils.isPortraitOrientation)(size))) { return size; }
and it works fine for me. Didn't test it much, since our app with embedded PDF.js will be deployed to end users in fall.

Closing since this is fixed by the PR above.
