The first report should be a landscape legal pdf but it comes out as a landscape letter pdf.

Has anyone else ran into this problem?

Try adding this setting to the first report and see if it helps

SET PSPAGESETUP = ON

Using 'SET PSPAGESETUP = ON' did not work for me unless it doing it wrong.

It's a setting to make a single pdf file come out on legal landscape paper. I've never tried to mix portrait/landscape in compound reports, and it didn't work for me either.

If you change the order of these reports so that the legal report is last, all three reports appear on legal paper. The orientation is correct on all three.

Anyone smell a bug?

Changing the order of the reports in not an option. I put a case in with Tech support and their answer was you can not do different page sizes. Looks like a bug to me, maybe I should ask it to be a new feature. I'm pretty sure in a normal PDF file you can have different page sizes.

I wasn't suggesting that you change the order. It was just a point of interest. Interesting that you add that you can have different page sizes within the same PDF document. If this is so, then there is an old method that I used a couple of years back for PDF concatenation that worked pretty well for me.

How would you do different page sizes?
