Hi,

interesting question.
I have a similar problem, too. I often have to make PDF- files for 
technical documentation. For this, I make a PS- printout and convert it 
to PDF with GhostScript.  There I have the effect, that
- in Ghostview all PS-pages are shown in the same correct orientation
   "landscape"
- In the "Acrobat Reader", most pages are also shown in "landscape",
   but some some few pages are shown wrongly in "portrait"

That ist reproducable, but I can not find out what causes the wrong 
orientation "protrait" for those few pages.

I "solved" the probldem more or less by adapting the preferences of 
Ghostscript: I switched off "Auto Orientation". Now all pages will be 
shown in the same orientation, but when I open the PDF with Acrobat 
Reader, they are first shown als "portrait" and I have to change the 
orientation, before I can see all pages correctly.
