About This Feature
Overview
Paper Orientation is a page layout feature in WPS Office for iOS documents. It lets you switch the page between portrait and landscape while editing a document. This is useful when you need more horizontal space for tables, charts, or wider page layouts.
Core capability:
- Set paper orientation: open the tool panel in editing mode and switch the page to portrait or landscape.
Common use cases include table layout, chart display, and wider document formatting. It helps when content feels cramped on a portrait page or when a document needs a horizontal layout for better presentation. On iPhone or iPad, you can change the page orientation directly from the in-app tool entry while continuing to edit the current file.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In iOS document editing, you can go to Tools → View → Paper Orientation to switch between portrait and landscape. | Word lets users change the orientation of the whole document, and it also supports applying landscape orientation to selected content. | Google Docs lets users change page orientation and supports mixed portrait and landscape sections, but these settings require pages format. | Notion supports PDF export with page format choices, but it does not provide a word-processor-style page orientation workflow for document editing. | Acrobat supports changing page orientation during printing and handling page rotation in PDF workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The orientation setting is available directly inside the iOS editing flow, which is convenient for quick mobile document layout changes. | Compared with WPS: Word provides stronger layout control for whole-document or selected-content orientation changes. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs supports section-based orientation, but page orientation depends on pages format rather than a mobile document editing tool flow like WPS. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on page publishing and export than on traditional document page layout editing. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat focuses more on PDF viewing, printing, and page handling than on editable word-processing page layout. |
