Yes. It is independent if it is pptx or odp.
The main point is to open it with Impress.
Comment 4 Alex Thurgood 2020-01-24 08:04:03 UTC
Confirming with

Version: 6.3.4.2
Build ID: 60da17e045e08f1793c57c00ba83cdfce946d0aa

The problem does not occur when using Export to PDF, which produces a landscape oriented PDF output file.

However, printing to PDF via the macOS printer dialog produces a portrait oriented file, in line with the preview of the output shown in the printer dialog.
Comment 5 Alex Thurgood 2020-01-24 08:05:23 UTC
The question now is whether this is a regression...
Comment 6 eisa01 2020-02-15 23:42:33 UTC
So this seems to be the case back in LO 3.3 too...

The preview in LO 3.3 shows it in landscape, but the produced PDF is in portrait mode - the slides are then rotated, so you need to tilt your head to read :)
Comment 7 Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) 2020-02-28 11:48:37 UTC
I can reproduce this on Win10 and PDF24 virtual PDF printer (but not on other physical ones I have access to), and seems to begun in 6.1 with:

tdf#91362: Use document paper size for printing slides.

Just like this example file: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99183#c6
Comment 8 Timur 2020-03-05 12:48:56 UTC
This was reported Mac and then Gabor confirmed for Win. 
I assume that Page-Layout-Orientation in Print dialog is Automatic? If so, I also repro portrait in Win with Lo 6.3.3. When changed to Landscape, it is fine. 
But I do not repro with master 7.0+, Automatic is already landscaped. 

Please also test with master 7.0+ from https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html (unfortunately, no Win, but Mac is there).

screenshot of printer dialog on Mac showing portrait format

This screenshot shows the printer dialog on Mac that the presentation is in portrait orientation.
Expected is landscape orientation.
Comment 11 christoph_egger 2020-03-05 14:30:38 UTC
Looking at the attachment 157857 [details] in bug 99183 and compare that with
attachment 158411 [details] makes me think that these two bugs are different issues because the text in the slide is rotated with the entire page orientation in attachment 158411 [details] while it is *not* rotated in attachment 157857 [details]
Comment 12 christoph_egger 2020-08-14 08:03:16 UTC
Retested with version:

Version: 7.0.0.3

I retested this in version

Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: <buildversion>
CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 10.14.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx
Locale: en-US (en_DE.UTF-8); UI: en-US

This issue is fixed. Both in the printer dialog and in the PDF file
it is in portrait format. Great work!

Now the buidversion is missing...
I downloaded it from:

https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/MacOSX-x86_64@tb81-TDF/2020-08-14_07.26.35/LibreOfficeDev_7.1.0.0.alpha0_MacOS_x86-64.dmg

I am looking forward to a backport of the fix into production version.

Sorry, I meant "landscape".
