| | Posted: | | | | I'm pretty sure this isn't possible, from what I've read in other threads pertaining to DVD covers and the like, but it never hurts to ask. I'm not looking for rotating images, or even having images for that matter, I'm not into making DVD covers or pirating, I'm using a relatively plain inventory report listing Names of movies, date released, and specific slot location, and personally like the look of having the standard header at the top and another header (sider?  ) running on the left side in landscape orientation. I know its doable by exporting the report to another format and messing with it prior to printing, but its not a fun workaround, is there any way to do it in DVDprofiler? Or does anyone think there'd be a chance of it being approved for the future if simply images couldn't be rotated, thus defeating the piracy argument? |

| | Posted: | | | | I logged a support call with Invelos about a very similar request the same issue as per the below with response:-
However contrary to them saying it will not work ..this is what I did to make it work.....I have created a report with the dimensions of a landscape rotated page and put in the cover images logos regions text etc and then when you print the report DVDprofiler only shows part of the report on screen ie the portrait version of the report that is truncated......however I proceed anyway and print it to Adobe Acrobat Writer (distiller) and the enitre landscape page with graphics and everything looking perfect is send to a new "PDF" file which you can then take to the printers or print yourself now I can store my A4 Ladscape report in a clear sleeve and on the back of the page attach the original dvd cover to the back of the report or better still print an double sided A4 Landscape page with the front DVD cover on one side and the back DVD cover on the back.
Once I have finished my A4 landscape report in the next couple of weeks I will upload it to the reports site to share with everyone.
Cheers Leigh
Hi Support,
I have 2 cd towers containing 1200 DVD/Bluray movies and love the DVD profilers software to keep track of my collection. I have even used it to print cover/inserts for each of the dvd sleeves using my own designed and built custom report. I am now attempting to created a large A4 binder that will contain an A4 LANDSCAPE report on one side of the clear sleeve with detailed information and on the other side of the clear sleeve will be my original DVD covers for safe keeping in landscape mode.
I have not been able to rotate the page of the report to landscape even when defined with the correct page dimensions eg 11.7 wide 8.3 high the report simply truncates the results.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated as this report really does need to be landscape so the printing company I use can then mount the original cover onto the back of the report with the same aspect.
I am happy to use a beta or test versions of DVD profiler if this function is available and would also be glad to sign any legal non discolure or other type document if there are any concerns of inappropriate use! Cheers and thanks in advance for your assistance Leigh Hocking
Resposnse:-
Unfortunately the report generator does not support landscape printing. You may wish to make a request via the Feature Requests forum. |

| | Posted: | | | | You misunderstand, I wasn't looking to print my report in landscape, merely to rotate one field of text into a landscape orientation. The report would be portrait, but have the words "Movie List" written sideways on one side. Unfortunately allowing this would also allow pirates to create proper spines for DVD case labels, which seems to be the main reason the feature isn't available. I had hoped that simply denying the ability to add images to such a report would solve the problem, but it doesn't seem feasible. |
