How to adjust PDF width & height and delete blank pages?

Question:I have a SSRS report. When I tried to export to PDF it was taking 4 pages due to its width. where the 2nd and 4th pages were displaying one of my field from the table. So I tried to set the layout size in report properties as width=18in and height =8.5in.It gave me the whole table in a single page of PDF. But I am getting 2nd and 4th page blank. Is the way I am doing is incorrect or else how to get rid of that blank pages? Is there any solution on VeryPDF?
