Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ rotating | Turn Page with rotated Table in Viewer

[safwatonline]

Hello everyone,

I am using the sidewaystable envirionment for a wide table, and everything is working fine. However, I was wondering if there is an option to make the resulting PDF page (containing the table) appear rotated 90 degrees for better readability. I tried the landscape environment however it messed up the sidewaystable.

Added:
The output is as expected if I used "LaTeX => PS => PDF" instead of "LaTeX => PDF". Any idea how to fix it for "LaTeX => PDF"?

This is hard to answer without a minimal working example but how about using only the landscape environment without the sidewaystable:
