How can I make PDF with Landscape orientation from an Excel file in Vba Access?

Question

I used to make pdf file from Access forms using this code:

DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputForm,"FR_PFMEAPrint2", acFormatPDF,"PFMEAPrint2.PDF",   True

and I printed Excelforms with Portrait orientation in Access using this code:

Excel_App.ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True

and for landscape I used this code in Access:

Forms("FR_Print").Printer.Orientation = acPRORLandscape
DoCmd.PrintOut acPages, 1, 1, , 1

but I need to output Excel file to PDF landscape format via Vba Access Thanks

Answer 1

You have to set the property of Excel Sheet object like shown in the sample code snippet below:

Sheets(1).PageSetup.Orientation = xlLandscape

Pertinent to your case it will look like:

Excel_App.ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets(1).PageSetup.Orientation = xlLandscape

or you can iterate through the multiple Sheets and set their property in the loop. Also, FYI: you can use underlying xlLandscape value of 2.

Hope this will help.
