    Form Output to PDF

    I have a form designed, and the option to save it as a PDF, but it needs to be saved in landscape orientation. No matter what options I try, it just won't save it in landscape orientation. I am begining to think it's just not possible.
    If it can be done, any insight would be appreciate.



    I am using the following code:

    DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputForm, "Days", acFormatPDF, "S:\DAY_CONTACT_INFO.PDF"

    you should really just make a report if you have special needs. (landscape)
    the output form is for a quick report. But youre gonna need more, so....report.

    Forms make poor print outs - likely not many of us would bother. Suggest you create a report based on the same recordsource as the form and set the page properties accordingly.

    Save your form as a report (rptDays), format it to use landscape orientation and save that to PDF instead.
