I've adopted this answer to rotate a table and its caption. I do not want to rotate the header, the footer, the section title not the paragraph on the same page.

Now I want to change the Rotate attribute as described here so that the page is turned to landscape by the viewer application. I know the same question has been asked in this duplicate, but I need to use xelatex and the compiler complains about pdfpageattr to be an undefined control sequence.

Am I right to assume that pdflscape has no option to prevent changes to the layout in the landscape environment?

mwe:

documentclass[a4paper]{scrartcl}

usepackage{%

  ,adjustbox%

  ,tabularx%

  ,ragged2e%

  ,blindtext%

  ,placeins%

  % ,pdflscape% <- I only want the pdf viewer to rotate the page

}

begin{document}



section{Portrait page}



Blindtext[3][1]

pagebreak[4]

% globalpdfpageattrexpandafter{thepdfpageattr/Rotate 90}

% --> Undefined control sequence. <--



% I can't use pdflscape's landscape environment as it changes the layout.



section{Landscape page}



This running text should be ``portrait''--readable.



% (leave 10ex room for the title and the paragraph.)

begin{table}[ht]

  begin{adjustbox}{minipage=textwidth-10ex,%

      addcode={begin{minipage}{width}}{%

          caption{%

            Here is a caption of the table which is so long that 

            it has to be wrapped over multiple lines, but should 

            not exceed the width (height after the rotation) of the table.

          }%

    end{minipage}},rotate=90,center}

  begin{tabularx}{linewidth}{|r|XXXXX|}

    multicolumn{6}{c}{{Largeslshape rotated table}}\

      & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \hline

    a & b & c & d & e & f \

    a & b & c & d & e & f \

    a & b & c & d & e & f \

    a & b & c & d & e & f \

    a & b & c & d & e & f \hline

  end{tabularx}

  end{adjustbox}

end{table}

xetex doesn't know pdfpageattr, you need to use a special with it

  special{pdf: put @thispage <</Rotate #1>>}%

(#1 is the angle).

You can use e.g. this internal commands of pdflscape to get the right effect:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{pdflscape}

begin{document}

blblb



makeatletterPLS@AddRotate{90}makeatletter



newpage



makeatletterPLS@RemoveRotatemakeatother

blblb



end{document}
