Creating a report in Landscape Mode

I am trying to create a report in landscape mode. I am using VWD 2005 express with the SQLServer2005_ReportAddin. My report apears to be in landscape mode on the screen, but when I export it to pdf it is not in landscape. I have my pagesize set to 11in wide and 8.5in high. and body set to 9x6.5 with 1in margin all around. any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

From your description, it seems that you are not able to export the right landscape mode into a PDF format, right?

Generally, it is the width which causes the format issue. Before exporting, you should control the report width which is on the Report Properties Tab.

There are properties which brings you to the Landscape Printing option. To set your report toalways print / export in Landscape mode, you need to go into the report properties, select the Layout tab and inverse the Width and Height

ie. The normal settings are 20cm for Page Width and 30cm for Page Height.

Thanks.
