How to set properties for the ViewAsPDF function.

/*
 * So you know what filename is.
 */
string filename = "SomeFileName.pdf";

/*
 * So you know what inData is.
 */
List<string> inData = new List<string>  //Can be any marshalable object.

/* 
 * This is all inline, but you can create the view as an anonymous type, 
 * then populate its properties, then return it.
 */
return new ViewAsPdf("MyCSHtmlView", inData)
{ 
    FileName = filename,
    PageOrientation = Rotativa.Options.Orientation.Portrait ,
