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:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}% let the table span the textwidth
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\usepackage{lipsum}% for dummy text
\begin{document}

\lipsum[1-5]

\begin{landscape}
\begin{table}
 \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{XXXXXXXXX}
  some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry \\
  some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry \\
  some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry \\
  some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry \\
  some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry \\
  some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry & some entry
 \end{tabularx}
 \caption{Some arbitrary caption}
\end{table}
\end{landscape}

\lipsum[1-5]

\end{document}

If this isn't what you're looking for please add a minimal working example.

Hello cgnieder,
Please find attached an example, i just want page 2 to be rotated by 90 degree without any change in its formatting.

Code: Select all

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{lipsum}% for dummy text
 		\usepackage{mathenv}\usepackage[lmargin=3.0cm, rmargin=1.0cm,tmargin=2.50cm,bmargin=2.50cm]{geometry}

		
	
% The following 2 lines are added to permit variable coloumn width in tables
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{varwidth}


\usepackage{multirow}
\renewcommand{\multirowsetup}{\centering}

\usepackage{paralist}

%% table settings
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage[figuresright]{rotating} 					% SidewaysTable

\usepackage{pdflscape}					% LandScape page
\sloppy				% prevents margin overruns

{\bf Application fields} & Ultra-High Speed when power consumption not primary concern? & Medium to high resolution ($8 to 16bit$), 5Msps and under, low power, small size. & Monitoring DC signals, high resolution, low power consumption, good noise performance. & High speeds, few $Msps to 100+ Msps$, 8 bits to 16 bits, lower power consumption than flash. & High resolution, low to medium speed, no precision external components,
 simultaneous 50/60Hz rejection, digital filter reduces anti-aliasing requirements. \\

{\bf Conversion Method} & $N$ bits - $2^N -1$ Comparators Caps increase by a factor of 2 for each bit. & Binary search algorithm, internal circuitry runs higher speed. & Unknown input voltage is integrated and value compared against known reference value. & Small parallel structure, each stage works on one to a few bits. & Oversampling ADC, $5-Hz - 60Hz$ rejection programmable data output. \\

{\bf Conversion Time} & Conversion Time does not change with increased resolution. & Increases linearly with increased resolution. & Conversion time doubles with every bit increase in resolution. & Increases linearly with increased resolution. & Trade off between data output rate and noise free resolution. \\
