With OneNote across all your devices, you’ll never miss a flash of inspiration. Share and collaborate Great minds don’t always think alike, but they can share ideas and create together in OneNote.

OneNote gives you the option of saving an entire notebook as a PDF file. Unfortunately I can only seem to find a way for it to do this in portrait orientation, which doesn't make a lot of sense for my content. It has been suggested during my Googling that I use a PDF printer to work around this, however this isn't a workable solution as OneNote, for some strange reason, will not allow the printing of entire notebooks. I would have to do it section by section which wouldn't take an insignificant amount of time.

Does anyone know a way to force it to output in landscape. An acceptable alternative solution would be a way to change the created PDF file from portrait to landscape, though I don't know how feasible this is. The document saves through Adobe Acrobat Distiller. • Open Adobe Acrobat Distiller • Rrom the Settings Menu > Edit Adobe PDF settings. • Change the Default Page Size to be 11.0 x 8.5 • Save As 'landscape'. • At the main screen of the Distiller change Default Settings to the newly created 'landscape'.

• Leave Distiller screen open. Go to Internet Explorer and locate the notebook you want to PDF. • Right click menu 'Convert to Adobe PDF'. Change your Distiller Defualt back to Standard and then File > Exit Distiller.

ISSUE When you try to open your notebook in OneNote 2016 (or in OneNote 2013 or 2010) on Windows 10, you see no content in your notebook, only a gray background. In addition, you may see the following error message: This notebook may not sync correctly because another program is syncing these files.

Click here to re-open this notebook from the correct location. BACKGROUND This issue can occur after the following has taken place: • A locally stored notebook was dragged (or otherwise added) to OneDrive for the purpose of backing it up, syncing it, or sharing it. While this may give the appearance that the notebook is now a cloud-based notebook, OneNote will continue to treat it as a locally stored notebook unless the notebook is. • The was installed on the same computer from which a locally stored notebook was dragged to OneDrive, as described in the previous bullet. Changes in this new edition of Windows can make local notebooks that were backed up to OneDrive in this way appear to have no sections. WORKAROUND You can attempt to resolve this issue by following these steps: • Exit OneNote, if it is still running. • On your computer’s hard drive, navigate to the folder in which the affected notebook is stored.

Tip: Typically, the default location for locally stored OneNote for Windows notebook folders is C: Users Documents OneNote Notebooks. • Copy the folder with the same name as the affected notebook to the root folder of your main hard drive.

Doing this effectively removes the copy of the notebook out of OneDrive’s sync scope. • In Windows File Explorer, click This PC, double-click to open the hard drive root location to which you just copied the notebook in the previous step, and then double-click the folder with the name of the copied notebook. • In the copied notebook folder, double-click the Open Notebook.onetoc2 file. If this file is not present, double-click any other available *.onetoc2 file in this folder. • When OneNote 2016 for Windows opens, the notes from the copied notebook folder should now be displayed properly. To prevent this issue from happening again, we strongly recommend that you follow the required procedure for properly moving the original affected notebook to your OneDrive account, which will convert it from a locally stored notebook to a true cloud-based notebook.

Your cloud-based notes will still be private, but you’ll enjoy more reliable syncing and you’ll be able to access your notes from any mobile device or any Web browser that you use.
