You could print it out using Cute PDF and set the print output to Landscape

I'm sure there's more than one workaround but I was hoping there's a simple setting in Access that controls this property. – yurib Mar 4 '11 at 10:57
Set the printer and report page orientation to landscape and then export it to PDF... – ta.speot.is Mar 4 '11 at 11:09
While printer control in Access is easier than it once was (since Access 2002), it's still not trivial, and it's kind of unpredictable. I would suggest for reliability you set up an actual report for the pivot chart, rather than try to print a form. – David W. Fenton Mar 5 '11 at 21:11

When this code runs, all you see is the file save dialog. Cute PDF must be installed according to instructions on website.

Dim stDocName as string
Dim prn As Printer
Dim rpt As Report

stDocName = "your report object name"

Set prn = Application.Printers("CutePDF Writer")
prn.Orientation = acPRORLandscape

DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, , , acHidden

Set rpt = Reports(stDocName)
Set rpt.Printer = prn

DoCmd.PrintOut
DoCmd.Close acReport, stDocName
