Hmmm.....   One thing might be to look at the page size settings you might want to just go to landscape layout.
by default the printed page is 8.5 x 11   and that is what makes the pdf page size.
try 11 x 8.5 size.

after that I know you can supply some custom code for output but I do not think it will be easy to re-do export to pdf.

also check margins, make them say .25 all around.

yes the viewer rendering beeing different from print and export is kinda a pain.

Thanks figurres, that worked.   It turns out that the properties that control the PDF rendering are the layout properties of "Report."
