Posted on by Community Member

I have a Report which prints in Portrait instead of landscape Format on different databases with the same objects and on the same Printer.

I have no idea where the bug is:

1) It's the same Printer

2) I use the same objects

3) I use same Version NAV 2015 8.00.41779

3) Only difference are the user Profile (but coud that create this issue?)

Can you please help me here out

Thanks in advance

RE: Prints report in portrait instead of landscape format

Hi, I know this is a really old post, but recently had the same issue with Business central where reports would print out in portrait instead of landscape on different user profiles. Finally found that this was down to the user rights on the PC rather than anything to do with NAV. Gave the user admin rights for the PC and all reports started printing correctly. Hope this helps somebody.

Did you check the report properties in your report layout?

It should be in Landscape property.

RE: Prints report in portrait instead of landscape format

Hi Leonardo,

And don't know if this is still an issue. But it might save other people some time if they are dealing with this issue.

The report I was developing and testing had the same problem.

The reason in my case was that this particular report was used in the Printer Selection List (backup from one of our customers).

Since it was a backup from one of our customers, the printer wasn't installed on our network and caused NAV to go wild with the report orientation.

I only had to remove the printer selection for this report and the orientation issue was solved.

Kind regards,

Job

Try the UseSystemPrinter = Yes Report property in the NAV Report Dataset Designer. That should do the job (it does for me in NAV 2016 CU4, eg. the Inventory Valuation Report). I must admit, that I am not quite sure what this property does (:-)), as the F1-help confuse me a bit. Anyone who can explain this property?

Is the above behavior happening for every user or only for one user, either way try to delete the personalization and try.

RE: Prints report in portrait instead of landscape format

Well, the funny Thing is, i print on the same Printer but use different databases.

So, it's not a Printer Problem.

is there an other way to set the layout in landscape Format instead to set it on rdlc?

Hi Leonardo,

Before Print this report check your printer settings and we don't have option to set report preview mode for user.

Ramesh.

RE: Prints report in portrait instead of landscape format

When you preview the report in navision is the preview in landscape or Portrait ?

I don't think it is based on user until there is setting changes on printer level.
