Here is sample code that you can include in your syntax stream to set some
of the Page Setup values.  Note that margin values are in points.  72
points = 1 inch.  All the numbers must be in quotes.

begin program.
import SpssClient
SpssClient.StartClient()
doc = SpssClient.GetDesignatedOutputDoc()
doc.SetPrintOptions(SpssClient.PrintOptions.Orientation, '2') # landscape
doc.SetPrintOptions(SpssClient.PrintOptions.LeftMargin, '50') # values in
points
doc.SetPrintOptions(SpssClient.PrintOptions.TopMargin, '50')
doc.SetPrintOptions(SpssClient.PrintOptions.RightMargin, '50')
doc.SetPrintOptions(SpssClient.PrintOptions.BottomMargin, '50')
SpssClient.StopClient()
end program.

To write it a bit more precisely:

Printing options for pdf are taken from the "page setup" as help mentions.
Where can I adjust them, except for the menu which gives me no "paste to
syntax" and no entry in the log.

Just forget the footnote stuff... ;-)

Any ideas someone?

Best,
  Lars
