Printing to a PDF file - landscape / portrait orientation

We have a FoxPro application where we need to print out a file either to portrait or landscape depending on the file type. The problem is that we need to print it to Adobe Acrobat Writer. As you know Adobe Writer works like a printer and outputs the file to a directory. So we created 2 PDF drivers with the intention of setting one up as landscape and the other as portrait. Turns out that they are not independent as when we change the settings on one, they automatically change the settings for the other.
Question is what can we do now? Is there a way to setup 2 independent PDF drivers, or is there a way to make the source file outputted to the driver landscape or portrait before we send it to the driver - if you know what I mean.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
 
mman74,

If orientation in your frx is set to print landscape then your pdfwriter should be able to output it in landscape. If you are selecting printer (PDFWriter) manually or using (..TO PRINTER PROMPT command in VFP) you can also change PDFWriter's Properties orientation to either Landscape or Portrait.
