Starting in SAS 9, the following logic can be used to create an RTF file which toggles orientation inside the file. The same capability is not currently available with the ODS PRINTER destinations (PCL/PDF/PS) until SAS 9.3.

Before SAS 9.3, if Adobe's Distiller is licensed, the RTF file created by the below ODS RTF code can be converted into a PDF file that has pages with differing orientation.

The Full Code tab shows how to change the page orientation inside a PDF file. This syntax is valid in SAS 9.3.

options orientation=landscape;
ods rtf file="file.rtf";

  proc print data=sashelp.class;
  run;

options orientation=portrait;
ods rtf;

  proc print data=sashelp.shoes(obs=100);
  run;

options orientation=landscape;
ods rtf;

  proc print data=sashelp.air(obs=100);
  run;

ods rtf close;
