Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On iOS, WPS lets you open a document, go to Tools → View, and switch paper orientation between landscape and portrait. | Microsoft Word officially supports changing page orientation to Portrait or Landscape, and also supports applying orientation to selected pages, sections, or from the cursor forward in desktop Word. | Google Docs officially supports changing page setup and also supports mixing portrait and landscape layouts in a single document. | Notion officially supports customizable database page layouts and full-width page options, but its help content does not describe portrait or landscape paper orientation for document pages. | Adobe Acrobat officially supports changing page orientation when printing, including auto-rotate and manual print orientation settings, with a focus on print output rather than document editing layout. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The path is direct for mobile editing on iOS. Distinct: It is convenient for quickly adjusting wide tables, charts, and similar content on a phone or tablet. | Compared with WPS: Word offers more section-based orientation controls in its official guidance, but the referenced workflow is centered on desktop Word rather than a simple iOS editing path. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs supports mixed orientations in one document, while WPS provides a straightforward in-app path for changing the current document layout on iOS. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on database page layout and workspace organization rather than traditional document paper orientation. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on print orientation for PDF output, not on changing page layout during word-processing document editing. |
| Official Source | — | Print with landscape orientation in Word | Change page settings on Google Docs | Layouts | Print horizontal or vertical pages using Acrobat or Reader |
Overall Conclusion: WPS is a practical choice when you want a direct way to change page orientation while editing a document on iOS. If your work depends on section-level orientation control, mixed page orientations in one online document, or print-focused PDF orientation handling, the other products cover those scenarios in different ways.
Use Cases

| 3 | Restore a standard page layout | Everyday document editors | The current page direction affects readability | Switch back to portrait for regular reading and editing |
| 4 | Quick mobile editing | iPhone and iPad users | It is not convenient to use a desktop device while away from the office | Change orientation directly in the iOS app |
| 5 | Special document layouts | Users with custom layout needs | The page direction does not match the content structure | Choose landscape or portrait based on the content |
