HTML5 ReportViewer not exporting to PDF according to Report orientation settings

[Matt]

I have a class library where all my reports are. One of my reports needs to be displayed and exported to PDF in landscape mode instead of portrait. In my web application which is a MVC Core application using a target framework of 4.6.1 displays the report fine in the report viewer. 

Do I need to do something with the jQuery to tell the report to print according to the class report settings?

Do I need to set something else in the report definition itself that will take care of it?

See the screenshot for the report properties settings.

Here is the jQuery I am using to render the report viewer:

<script>
    function setReportSource(report) {
        var viewer =
            $("#reportViewer1")
                .data("telerik_ReportViewer");

        viewer
            .reportSource({
                report: report
            });
    }


    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#reportViewer1")
            .telerik_ReportViewer({
                serviceUrl: "../api/reports/",
                reportSource: {
                    report: "MBIntranet.Reporting.DownTime.ReasonCodeReport, MBIntranet.Reporting",
                    parameters: {}
                },
                viewMode: telerikReportViewer.ViewModes.INTERACTIVE,
                scaleMode: telerikReportViewer.ScaleModes.SPECIFIC,
                scale: 1.0,
            });

        $("#reports")
            .on(
            "change",
            function () {
                setReportSource($(this).val());
            });
    });
</script>

Hi Matt,

It seems that setting PaperKind property to LetterRotated will be sufficient to display the report in landscape format. There is no need to set Landscape to true in this case.
Landscape=true will switch the width and height of the page.

Hi,

I have the same setup (html5 viewer to report Web API) and am experiencing the same issue in that word/PDF exports are still in portrait not landscape.

Code:

this.Report.PageSettings.Margins = new Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.MarginsU(Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.Inch(1.0),         Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.Inch(1.0), Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.Inch(1.0), Telerik.Reporting.Drawing.Unit.Inch(1.0));
this.Report.PageSettings.PaperKind = System.Drawing.Printing.PaperKind.LetterRotated;
this.Report.PageSettings.Landscape = true;

Any ideas?

Hi Jason,

I guess the issue is similar to the one reported by Matt, check my previous reply in this topic and test resetting the Landscape property.

So yes, setting the page settings orientation back to portrait and keeping the paper size set to LetterRotated fixed the issue. However, I have to say that is really really strange.
