PDF arrives vertically

Hello, good afternoon. I'm having a problem when I try to subscribe via email. The specific problem is that the PDF arrives vertically and should arrive horizontally. I can't find the reason or any help on how to configure it automatically horizontally.

For PDF format, sheet output, there is an algorithm in the sheet report production that detects if the source sheet has been structured to be portrait or landscape - it attempts to produce a WYSIWYG sheet output.  Typically if you are using extended sheets or have customized your canvas vertical, you will get a Portrait output for a given sheet.  PPTX format output won't do this; however, I suspect  with your sample, you would get a very illegible output as the sheet would be responsively placed into landscape view.  

For more advanced report output control you could consider templated report options (Tabular | PixelPerfect) and on-demand.  There is also an HTML Report template capability coming soon as well. 

Hope that helps

The problem is that the PDF comes vertically and should be horizontal. By default, it is always vertical, and I don't know how to modify it so that the subscription always comes horizontally.

Thank you very much, Andrew. This is excellent news. To complement this, an automatic algorithm to determine portrait or landscape (horizontal):

If your sheet is structured with more height (vertical) than width, the PDF is generated in portrait format.

If your sheet is wider (horizontal), then landscape format is used. Automatically in the PDF output.
