One of the things that I do for basic tabular or graphic reports is this:
[pre]
options orientation=landscape;
ods pdf file='somefile.pdf' notoc;
proc print data=sashelp.shoes(obs=20);
title 'Should be Landscape';
run;
**;
** other procs here;
**;
ods pdf close;
[/pre]
If you are running in SAS 9.1.3, then you have an additional option for suppression or "hiding" the bookmark area:
[pre]
ods pdf file='somefile.pdf' bookmarkgen=no;
[/pre]
Basically, NOTOC was the option you used in SAS 8 to get rid of the bookmark area and BOOKMARKGEN=NO is how you suppress them in SAS 9 (you suppress them because you're not creating them.)
In EG, you can either submit your code from a CODE node and type the whole code. OR, you can go into EG following this click path (in EG 4.1): [pre]
Tools --> Options
Tasks --> Custom Code
Click Edit...
When the Edit Window opens, type the options statement:
Options orientation=landscape;
Click --> Save
Select Results --> PDF (still in the Options window)
Look for the Advanced section where you can type additional options for the ODS PDF statement.
In the white box, type:
BOOKMARKGEN=NO (NO SEMI-COLON here)
Select Results --> Results General (still in the Options window)
Deselect HTML and SAS Report as Result Formats
Click on the check box for PDF as Result Format
Click --> OK to close the Options Window
Now, do a TASK
Describe --> List Data
Open Data from SASHELP
Choose SHOES.SAS7BDAT file
Click --> OPEN
Select your columns to LIST
Click --> RUN
You should get a PDF file in Landscape mode WITHOUT a bookmark area.
It's up to you which way you do it.
Of course, using the Click method to change the options means that when you want HTML,
you have to go back and click HTML as a Results Format in the Options window.
But if all you're doing in generating PDF output
with EG, then either the code method or the click path method should work for you.
Good luck!
