Set PDF Page Options

Set PDF page options, such as page orientation and paper size, to control how report pages appear in PDF. You can set PDF page options for individual report pages or for all report pages in a layout.

Tip: The PDF Page Properties sample report in the GO Sales (analysis) package includes PDF page options. For more information about The Sample Outdoors Company samples, see Sample Reports and Packages.

You can also set PDF page options in IBM Cognos Connection. For more information, see the IBM Cognos Connection User Guide.

The paper size for PDF output can be a maximum of 200 x 200 inches or 500 x 500 centimeters. A larger paper size produces a blank page.
