Is there a way to generate PDF in landscape orientation while accesing reports through URL?

Question

I am accessing report using URL like this

< reportServerAddress >/ReportServer?%2f< reportName >&< parameter >=< value >&rs:Command=Render&rc:Parameters=false&rc:Toolbar=false&rs:Format=pdf

While in standard HTML form report is displayed properly, in PDF format it defaults to portrait orientation (page setting are 297mm width and 210mm height).

I wasn't able to find a way to pass orientation by some parameter to the server.

Is there a way to generate report in landscape mode pdf using URLs?

I would rather not use SOAP API but will using it allow me to do so?

Answer 1

The orientation is defined by the report properties. It can not be set dynamically. So you'll need to change the Page Size, swap the Height and Width. If you want to be able to use both orientations, you'll need two separate copies of the report.
