Re: [sqr-users] Printing Data Vertically using SQR

[Eric Dimick Eastman <erice@ontko.com>]

Sudeep,

I just posted an example of what I believe you are trying to do.  This uses 
PostScript to rotate and move the text around.  We then converted the PS to 
  PDF using GhostScript.

Check out: http://www.ontko.com/sqr/  Look for "Examples" about 1/2 way 
down the page.

Hope this helps,
Eric
