Access PDF orientation issues after upgrade from 2007 to 2010
After upgrading to Access 2010 when my module converts to PDF it puts all reports in landscape rather than portrait. I have checked all the settings in Access and everything shows to be in the proper portrait settings. I am using a 3rd party module to do this conversion. Looking around online it looks like Access now has a built in PDF converter. If this is the case, can someone please help me with the new piece of code.
Option Compare Database
Function send_emailcap_mtd()
On Error GoTo Err_Send_Click
Dim mydb As Database, RS As Recordset
Set mydb = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).Databases(0)
Dim docname As String, ctl As Control, strTo As String
Dim path As String, subject As String, body As String
Dim attach As String, blnSuccessful As Boolean
Application.Echo False
'Get all the email addresses for the daily stat report
Set RS = mydb.OpenRecordset("qry_emailcap_mtd")
'Report to run and make a snapshot of the report and put it on the server
path = "c:\temp\"
docname = "emailcap_mtd"
subject = "Email Address Capture Report"
body = "Daily Report is Attached"
attach = path + docname + ".rtf"
'DoCmd.OpenReport docname, A_PREVIEW
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, docname, acFormatRTF, _
attach, False
'start of pdf change
Dim blRet As Boolean
Dim attachPDF As String
attachPDF = path + docname & ".pdf"
' Call our convert function
' Please note the last param signals whether to perform
' font embedding or not. I have turned font embedding ON for this example.
blRet = ConvertReportToPDF(docname, vbNullString, _
attachPDF, False, True, 150, "", "", 0, 0, 0)
' To modify the above call to force the File Save Dialog to select the name and path
' for the saved PDF file simply change the ShowSaveFileDialog param to TRUE.
'end of pdf change
'This loops through all of the email addresses and sends the report to everyone
Do Until RS.EOF
strTo = RS!Email
'Old format for sending reports with warnings
'DoCmd.SendObject A_REPORT, docname, A_FORMATTXT, strTo, , , "Daily Stat Report", , False
'New way of sending reports without warnings
' blnSuccessful = FnSafeSendEmail(strTo, subject, body, attach, "", "")
blnSuccessful = FnSafeSendEmail(strTo, subject, body, attachPDF, "", "")
RS.MoveNext
Loop
'Clean up process
RS.Close
DoCmd.Close A_REPORT, docname
Set RS = Nothing
Set mydb = Nothing
exit_send_click:
Application.Echo True
Exit Function
Err_Send_Click:
Resume exit_send_click
End Function
The syntax for the constants "A_" come from Access 2.0 days.

Can you help me out with where to place this piece of code. I am having no luck on getting this to works. Thanks
I haven't seen situations where the report is in one mode and the PDF comes out in another. Are you experiencing this problem when you generate the PDF interactively from previewing the report?

Output your report to strPath and attach to email...
strPath = "c:\mypath\DailyRpt-" & fDate & ".pdf"
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Report", acFormatPDF, strPath
