Any more info needed, just ask & TIA .... There are at least three options to rotate the pages in PDF files that come= to mind; 1) Use Ghostscript's ``-dAutoRotatePages`` flag. See e.g. this stackoverflow answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3089773/how-to-change-page-or= ientation-of-pdf-ghostscript-or-postsscript-solution-need Note that this *only* works for the pdfwrite device! So you'd have to rotate pages and *then* feed it to pdf2ps. 2) Use pdftk (needs gcj to build) 3) Use pdfjam (requires TeXLive) Option 1 us probably the easiest since you already have GhostScript install= ed. Option 2 requires a GCC built with the JAVA option enabled. Option 3 is probably only worthwhile if you were going to install TeXLive anyway.
