Currently I am using
\usepackage{rotating}
\begin{sidewaystable}
\begin{tabular}...\end{tabular}
\end{sidewaystable}
to typeset landscape tables, which works great.
But I want to rotate that page in the resulting pdf (generated by pdflatex) for more convenient screen reading.
I found the landscape environment which is also mentioned in another question. I tried it like this:
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\begin{landscape}
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}...\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{landscape}
This kind of works, except the original table does not fit anymore on the page, i.e. sidewaystable makes better use of the available space.
Thus my question: Is it somehow possible to just use sidewaystable and instruct pdflatex to rotate it?
Or instruct pdflatex to mark it as rotated such that the PDF viewer knows what to do?
