   I believe you are looking for this.
   In your PageDescriptor set your size to landscape mode, e.g. page.Size(PageSizes.A4.Landscape().

   Thanks for the quick answer. The problem is i will get an layout exception. Since i would expected my container to be a specfic size.

   My Container is designed to create an Landscape 62x29. But i want to create in specifc cases the same flipped as 29x62. Without duplicating any Container Code to have special cases for portait 29x62

   @BEBO-MAKER Thank you for a quick answer!

   @denizakkas You can try using the ScaleToFit element, but it is always a compromise. If your content expects a very specific available size (e.g. due to hardcoded values), the library cannot help much. If the exception is thrown because of layout contraints, you can investigate them further using the ElementTrace information.

   @MarcinZiabek thanks for that information

   So in this example here. You would suggest to use instead a fixed height then? And get rid of the header/footer. So i can simply RotateRight the remaining Content?
   

   Since i dont see any other way to make this work.
   I still think besides this exmaple. It can be pretty usefull to rotate the whole page including Footer and Header

   I am not sure if I follow. Would you like to provide more detailed images? I am especially interested in the content direction within Header / Content / Footer.

   @MarcinZiabek Sorry i should comeup with an Codeexample to make it more Clear. Including and proper Image.

   Here we go lets look at this example

   As an Example for an Implementation
   

       container.Page(
           page =>
           {
               page.Size( 62f, 29f, Unit.Millimetre);
               page.Margin( 3, Unit.Millimetre);
   
               page.Header().LineHorizontal(2);
               page.Content().Text("Test");
               page.Footer().LineHorizontal(2);
           }
       );
   

   Since i want it rotate on its side, the most obvious way to Rotate it would be to use RotateLeft for example on Header & Content & Footer. Which will of course not work. (Which is absolutly okay)

   

       container.Page(
           page =>
           {
               page.Size( 292f, 62f, Unit.Millimetre);
               page.Margin( 3, Unit.Millimetre);
   
               page.Header().RotateLeft().LineHorizontal(2);
               page.Content().RotateLeft().Text("Test");
               page.Footer().RotateLeft().LineHorizontal(2);
           }
       );
   

   What i am forced now Todo is something like that to get my expected result. Which will make Header & Footer completly obsolute for this usecase.

       container.Page(
           page =>
           {
               page.Size( 29f, 62f, Unit.Millimetre);
               page.Margin( 3, Unit.Millimetre);
   
               page.Content().RotateLeft().Column(
                   col =>
                   {
                       col.Item().LineHorizontal(2);
                       col.Item().Height(21f, Unit.Millimetre).Text("Test");
                       col.Item().LineHorizontal(2);
   
                   });
           }
       );
   

   

   And my suggestion is something like a SetPortrait() function or maybe some ApplyRotateLeft to force Rotating Header, Content and Footer all together.
   Or maybe some DocumentMetaData to allow it rotate the result.

       container.Page(
           page =>
           {
               page.Size( 62f, 29f, Unit.Millimetre);
               page.Margin( 3, Unit.Millimetre);
               **page.SetPortrait();**
   
               page.Content().Column(
                   col =>
                   {
                       page.Header().LineHorizontal(2);
                       page.Content().Text("Test");
                       page.Footer().LineHorizontal(2);
                   });
           }
       );
   

   Sorry for that long post.

   The Page element works as a very specific composition, take a look at this code inside the library. You can recreate similar structure yourself inside the Content slot.

   Then, you have much better control over entire layout. For example, you can use the content rotation trick that I have described in this issue. Maybe this will help you somehow.

   Also, would you like to take a look at this PR ans provide your thoghts? #357
