Following example.org is expected to be exported in landscape though the generated pdf remains in portrait. What should I change?

** A3 PDF Landscape
   #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[a3paper]{geometry}
   #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[lscape]{geometry}
   #+ATTR_LATEX: :placement [H] :landscape
*** Flowchart landscape
    #+BEGIN_SRC mermaid :file myPicture1121.png
 graph LR
     john-->|calls|mary
    #+END_SRC
 #+RESULTS:
 [[file:myPicture1121.png]]

Your LaTeX header is incorrect. You need to put all options for a package on one line, and the landscape option is landscape not lscape. It should read

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[a3paper,landscape]{geometry}

Your issue is thus entirely unrelated to Emacs and org mode.

  • The above solution does not work for me. But this one works: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/36802/exporting-org-in-landsacpe – Yu Shen Aug 07 '19 at 23:46
  • any other latex commands that make a document landscape should work as well, like the #+LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [landscape] you linked. Not sure why the geometry package doesn't work for you, though. – Lorenz Aug 08 '19 at 08:12
