SPSS ignores landscape-setting of printer

[Moon Kid]

I export the output by script/syntax to PDF files an know that SPSS is
using the current printer settings for the PDF files. Generating the
output in A3-PDF files works well.

But I need output in A4-landscape and the landscape option of the
printer is ignored by SPSS. I also tried to create a user-definied
papersize. It is ignored, too.

Does it have to be so hard to create a easy PDF output?

The Page Setup options in the Viewer should be used for the PDF output, assuming that you are using OUTPUT EXPORT to do this.  Have you tried setting the orientation to landscape?  These settings are also available as of Statistics 22 as preferences in Edit > Options.

Yes, this works. Sorry, I mixed the driver and page settings and get
confused about it. :)
