GinnyJakesI think it is not available in your release but in a later release of 7.6. I think it is in 7.6.6.

WazI've just finished a Compound PDF report in Wf 766.
Change of orientation works well, just need to use a new PAGELAYOUT, with ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE|PORTRAIT

Darin LeeActually, this funtionality should be available in your release. We're on 7.1.6 and have several reports that use this. It's just a matter of setting the ORIENTATION correctly in the stylesheet for each report.
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=IN,
PAGESIZE='LETTER,
LEFTMARGIN=1.000000,
RIGHTMARGIN=1.000000,
TOPMARGIN=1.000000,
BOTTOMMARGIN=1.000000,
SQUEEZE=ON,
ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT,$
But that may also depend on how you're creating you compound PDF doc. Most of ours, created many moons ago, still use the "old" way. The new compound layout tool may handle this differently.
