Adding these methods would be a great help. I can't currently see a way of getting this information.

Thanks

Wouldn't you already know the page dimensions and orientation, since you have to give them at the beginning? I'm trying to think of any case where you wouldn't know what they are (including the default setting). Do you have an example where you have no way of finding out?

See get_mediabox and related methods in PDF::API2::Page.

Indeed, get_mediabox() should return the lower left (0,0) and upper right (default 595pt wide, 792pt high) corners of the page. If width > height, it's landscape orientation. That should do, so I'll close this.
