> Adjust page setup to ensure professional display when exporting to PDF

1. (If not already open in Report Designer.) In **Reporting**, click ![](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/onestopreporting/create-templates/report-designer/creating-reports/page-setup-for-reports/img/en/word-image.png) **Edit** to open the report in **Report Designer**.
2. Mark the area of the report that you want to include, for example, for PDF outputs. **NOTE:** Make sure you do not include areas with hidden rows or columns because these will appear as large white areas in the report.
3. On the **Page Layout** tab, in the **Page Setup** group, click **Print Area**.
4. Click **Set Print Area**.
5. In the **Scale to Fit** group, select **1 page** from the **Width** list.
6. In the **Scale to Fit** group, select **1 page** from the **Height** list. **NOTE:** If you have a very long report, for example, reports with large amounts of transaction listings, you should consider setting this option to **Automatic**.
7. In the **Page Setup** group, click **Orientation** and then click **Landscape. NOTE:** Even though this option is usually best for most reports, you should also consider using the **Portrait** option.
8. Upload (Ctrl+S) the report to OneStop Reporting.
