Adobe InDesign: Change page format - how it works

You can also change the page format in an InDesign document later. For example, you can switch from portrait to landscape format or to a completely different page size.

Change the page format in InDesign documents

If you want to change the page format in an existing InDesign document, proceed as follows:

1. Click on "File"> "Document Setup ..." in the top menu bar.
2. Now set the "Orientation" in the "Page format" box. Here you can choose between landscape and portrait format.

3. Now switch between landscape or portrait to align the corresponding page.
