Export PDF Report in landscape mode

Hello, 


I am encountering an issue while exporting the PDF from the PdfViewer in Syncfusion. When the PDF is exported, the layout of the page breaks. However, one possible solution to alleviate this issue is to export the PDF in landscape mode. Could anyone please clarify or suggest which settings to add to allow the export of the PDF to landscape mode ?  Thank you. 

Best Regards.

Hi Arcania, 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

We are unable to get your requirement with the provided details, can you please confirm us whether you are facing issue while Printing/Downloading the landscape PDF document from the PDF Viewer. Also can you please more details about your requirement, use case scenario, error details if any , screen shots and the PDF document. These details will be helpful for us to investigate further and assist you better. 

However, we have created simple PDF Viewer sample and shared the same in the following link,

Hi Aksharay, 

I have the used the following codes to initialize the report viewer in syncfusion:

    $("#viewer").ejReportViewer({
                reportServiceUrl: "/api/ApiController/Report",
                reportPath: '~/App_Data/GroupingAggregate.rdlc',
                processingMode: ej.ReportViewer.ProcessingMode.Local,
                dataSources: [
                    {
                        value: @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.UserList)),

                        name: "Sales"
                    }
                ],
            });

The output is as follows (See attached image). 

When I click the Export button from the toolbar, the PDF is downloaded. However, the content of the PDF is distorted (the table is spread over two pages instead on a single page - landscape mode). I want to the downloaded PDF to be in landscape mode directly. I have also adjusted the page setup by setting the Orientation to Landscape but no effect. Can you please help?

Hi Arcania,  

If your requirement is to export the report in Landscape mode, then you need to set the page orientation as “Landscape” at report design level from Report Properties. If you still face any issue, then share your RDLC report with us to validate the problem at our end.

Hi Arcania, 

We have validated your shared report and in that the page orientation is specified as Portrait only, so we have modified the page orientation as Landscape and it has been exporting properly as PDF in Landscape. Please find the modified report from the below location. 


If you still face any issue, then please share the Syncfusion product version you are using with us for further validation. 

Regards, 
Vinoth S.

Hi Arcania, 

We need to set the landscape for the report from page settings in design level using Visual studio. Please find the below steps for how to set the landscape at design level. 
Step 1: Open the RDLC report in Visual studio 
Step 2: Click the report outside and choose the report properties as shown in below snap. 

 
Step 3: Set landscape for report as shown in below snap. 
 
 
Also, we have validated this report with 16.4.0.52 version and it has been exporting properly.
