PDF Page setup

Hi

I'm fairly new to Cognos and have got what I think is a fairly simple problem which I can't seem to fix.

I have created a report (in Report Studio) where the front page of the report consists of 4 charts and then the following pages include the figures associated with the charts.

I want the report to run as a PDF, with the first page as A3 Landscape and the other pages as normal A4 Portrait.  On the knowledgebase it says go into the File menu and then PDF Page Setup, but this doesn't seem to exist on my setup and when I change the format in Page setup or Run options it changes the setup for all pages.

Does anyone have the solution?  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

upgrade to 8.3.  With 8.3 you can change the pdf layout of individual pages within a report.  In earlier versions this is not possible, you can only set the layout for the entire report (regardless of how many pages so they are all either landscape or all portrait).  Hope this helps

Thanks for the advice, we are currently on 8.2. Will have to see about going to 8.3!
