int li_ret
dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.UsePrintSpec = 'Yes'
dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.Method = NativePDF!
dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Print.Orientation = '1' //Landscape!
dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Print.Paper.Size = '1' //1 – Letter 8 1/2 x 11 in
li_ret = dw_1.SaveAs("c:\custom.pdf",PDF!, true)This example uses Modify to set the PDF print properties:
dw1.Modify("DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.UsePrintSpec = Yes")
dw1.Modify("DataWindow.Export.PDF.Method = NativePDF!")
dw1.Modify("DataWindow.Export.Print.Orientation = '1'")
dw1.Modify("DataWindow.Export.Print.Paper.Size = '1'")See also
