Report Print PDF in Landscape
June 14, 2011, 09:13:30 am
We have a wide CiviReport with many columns we used to be able to print in landscape mode (wide) with 3.3.  Now with 3.4 it prints always in portrait (narrow) paper and it's confusing how I might get it to print in landscape again.  There are no print or template settings on the report itself.

Any ideas?

This was a side effect of the new "Configure PDF Page Formats" improvement - the fact that CiviReport should be passing in "Landscape" orientation for all reports by default was missed.

It's an easy fix if you want to patch your install. Change line 1796 in CRM/Report/Form.php to:
Code: [Select]
         CRM_Utils_PDF_Utils::html2pdf( $content, "CiviReport.pdf", false, array('orientation' => 'landscape') );

I've filed an issue and committed the fix for the next release:
http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-8303

Note that you can also fix this behavior w/o patching by creating a default PDF Page Format with Landscape Orientation - but this may affect other PDF outputs.

Can this be set so that its landscape for  one specific report and not for all reports?

Currently no, it will change all reports to landscape.

I suggest it be mentioned somewhere that changingthe PDF default format for letters also changes it for reports.
