When I create a PDF report using the report writer in MATLAB 2008, there does not appear to be any way to control the output. For example I can't seem to find a way to sekect Landscape mode. Also, there does not seem to be any way to set margins. Does MATLAB not provide a means to set margins to say 80 characters so that when a report is created everything after 80 chars is not cut off? Right now the only way I can get the many lines to print correctly is to go back through every line and hit a return after about 80 characters. That seems to be a hugh waste of time. What am I missing? Thanks for any help.
UPDATE... I have found that I can save the file in word format then open the file and reset the margins. It works but seems to be a waste of time. Why would MATLAB include a report generator when you can't set anything to customize the output?
You can definitely customize the output in MATLAB Report Generator. To do that you would need to create a new stylesheet.
In Report Explorer go to Tools -> Edit Stylesheet, that will launch Stylesheet Editor. You can then open an existing PDF stylesheet, for example, "Paginated Sections", and modify it as you need (change page orientation, set margins, etc). Then save this stylesheet to a new file, and use that stylesheet when you generate a report.
This workflow is shown in the web demo on MATLAB Report Generator product page:
