Printing PDF documents

I had some trouble generated PDF in AX 2012 last months. The issue is A4 paper size, but also printing in landscape. I start looking in AX, Visual studio; everything was fine, but the PDF documents still suXX. On the end I found a solution in SSRS and it was working.

So how did we do this. The answer is in the config files of the SSRS server. You have to search the internet on the bush word Rendering

If you have read this link, you will say ok, can someone give me just an copy with the config file adaptions. I don’t want to understand it as long it works. And we are lucky
