When it displays in reader it is in portrait mode. Is there a postscript command I can insert into the .PS file to correct the display orientation? 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.
