| Capability Summary | WPS Writer on Android lets you switch the page between landscape and portrait through Tools → View → Page Orientation. | Word on mobile supports changing document orientation to Portrait or Landscape while you work on the document. | Google Docs on Android supports changing Orientation in Page setup, but this is available only for documents in pages format. | Notion help content describes page width and styling options, but it does not describe a document-level page orientation setting. | Adobe Acrobat help content provides page rotation for PDFs to adjust page viewing or page organization. |
