    From Publisher (if you haven't tried this yet), try a Save as, and choose PDF as the file format.  I just did this and ended up with a properly-oriented PDF version.  Printing to PDF, if that is how you were making the PDF earlier, can be troublesome in many cases, in my experience.

    My best,

    Dave

    I am having this same issue, and my print handling screen does not look like that - assumedly b/c that is an old sheet from 2015.

     

    How can I fix this issue? All my print settings say portrait - but it comes out landscape when printed. 😞

      How can I go back to Windows 10? Un-freaking-believable. I hate Microsoft. Next pc will be a Mac. They cost more but it's not worth this level of wasting time.
