Option for Landscape PDF Export for Better Diagram Visibility

[dettmer-nh]

Describe the feature you'd like

I would like to see an additional PDF export button that allows for landscape format.
This would solve the problem of large or wide diagrams becoming unreadable in portrait PDF exports. Since PDF exports are already split into pages, adding the option for landscape format would allow for better alignment between the diagram's aspect ratio and the page, enabling the diagram to be displayed at a much larger and clearer size.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

This feature would improve the visibility and readability of large or wide diagrams in PDF exports. Users who document with diagrams in their content would be able to export them in a more suitable format, making them easier to read and understand. It would be particularly useful for technical documentation and other content types where large and often wide diagrams are used. Additionally, landscape export could provide benefits in other cases where the format is more appropriate for the content (e. g. a presentation slide).

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No. Currently, it seems like there is no way to export PDFs in landscape format. The existing export method only supports portrait format, which does not work well for wide diagrams.

afaik you can only change the orientation in the .env file, but this is systemwide, so you need to change it, export the pdf, change it back.
It would also appreciate this feature.
