Is it possible to ad hoc export a PDF in landscape mode?

When I click the "Export PDF" button on a dashboard, the generated PDF is laid out in portrait mode. I'd like to generate a PDF in landscape mode instead.

This seems to be possible for scheduled PDF delivers as outlined in the documentation : http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.4/Viz/DashboardPDFs

But I'd like to have Landscape mode PDFs for ad hoc exports as well. Is this possible?

Try changing the PDF orientation to Landscape from "System settings » Email settings " and try doing ad-hoc export.

This setting does seem to control the export as pdf functionality. It's unfortunate that you can't be prompted for each individual PDF, rather than having a constant, universal, server setting.
