Parameter to control landscape orientation of PDF export

Users export Notes document into PDF from the Notes client. They use the formula language @Command([FileExport];"PDF Document";filename). It works same as File > Export feature of the Notes client.

It works fine, but if there is an image in the Notes document then Notes client throws a prompt box and asks the following to the user:

"This document contains images. Do you want to export with landscape orientation to preserve image formatting?"

User has to select either Yes or No.

Suppose the users have to export hundreds of documents per run, and they don't want landscape orientation, then they have to select No hundreds of times.

Provide a notes.ini parameter which will force Yes or No, and the prompt box doesn't appear to the users.

If the notes.ini parameter is set to 1 (Yes) then export will use landscape orientation, and if set to 0 (No) then it will not use landscape orientation.

If the notes.ini parameter is set anything other than 1 or 0, or if the parameter is not used at all then Notes client will throw prompt box to the user for manual selection.

    I would suggest a checkmark, and simply remember its position for the rest of the selected documents.
