Question

We use PDF-Focus. And we want to export PDF-documents in landscape-format to a Word-document.
We want to export this document to Word. We get the document in Word. And everything looks fine.
If we want to print this new word-document the margins of this document are portrait-orientated.

I tried to solve this by creating an empty Word document and then inserting a temporary exported Word-document. Then I changed the orientation to Landscape. I saw that this solution works. The document is now landscape orientated.

But now the pages with graphics and other images are overlapping the pages with tables.

So I thought I have to inserting the temporary document to the new created document by reading separate pages and then inserting with a loop.

Which functionality should we use to solve this programmatically?
Or maybe there is a better solution? Can you help me?

Following code works for me and opens a word document changing its page orientation. were you looking for something like this?

using System;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

namespace PageSetup
{
    class TestPageOrientation
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
            app.Visible = true;

            //Load Document
            Document document = app.Documents.Open(@"C:\Temp\myDocument.docx");

            document.PageSetup.Orientation = WdOrientation.wdOrientLandscape;
        }
    }
}
