Landscape RTF reports from DocumentGenerator

[Fred Bevan]

Does anyone know how to specify landscape layout when creating RTF reports with scripts using the DocumentGenerator class?

All my reports come out in portrait mode even when the RTF template used specify landscape. There does not appear to be any methods of the DocumentGenerator class to change the mode.

I have received confirmation from Sparx that this is an issue. No estimate on when it will be resolved.

In version 9 this can be made to work.

• The previous model template in a document model MUST end with a section break (or your page layout will bleed forward (this is a bug))
• In the model document template select Printer setup and choose Landscape
• make the last thing in your model document template a section break to close off the landscape section

Thanks Skiwi,

Even when I follow your instructions below, I cannot produce landscape documents from a script using the DocumentElement method of the DocumentGenerator class.

Have you been able to do this?

When I submitted a support request to Sparx, here was there answer:

We have confirmed that this is an issue, the Document Generator treats all documents as being Portrait.

Sorry, I misread this (not being in the automation forum).
