Can you build a Report, and Rotate the page?

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to create a pallet label report to print on a 4x6 label printer.  The report fits best landscape, but the print drivers do not rotate landscape pages.
What I need to do is build a landscape report, and rotate it 90 degrees to fit on a portrait-oriented pdf page.
The report I have works, if I open it in an external editor, switch to portrait, and rotate the contents.

Try to wrap all your elements inside a report into the div with the attribute 'transform'. An example of the style for the div class 'rotated':

.rotated {transform: rotate(90deg);}

Not sure it will work fully correctly. Perhaps, there would be still a need to change some element classes.

UPDATE

Reports styles differ from website styles. You either need to pass those styles right in the report, or, simpler in that case, assign the style right in the qweb xml:

<div style="-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);-moz-transform: rotate(90deg);-o-transform: rotate(90deg);-ms-transform: rotate(90deg);transform: rotate(90deg);"></div>

P.S. I haven't tested this solution, it is just my idea.

Thank you,
So far it doesn't work... but I'll play with it.  I applied the style to the class="page article" element, and to the one child below the page element (a table). In both cases it showed the content rotated 90 degrees in the web preview, but not in the final printed PDF.
Perhaps that's a CSS property not supported well by wkhtmltopdf?
Thanks,
John
