Hi,
I'm using xpdf-3.00 on solaris as well as xpdf-2.03 on Win2K.
For both, pdftops turns landscape pages into seascape. I'm
trying this on the PDF file at:
http://www.intellektik.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~kipr/Lehre/2003WS/EidI/Folien/SLS.pdf
Can anyone check their build of xpdf on this?
Thanks.
Fred

/Rotate 270
which in effect means a rotation of the pages of 90 degrees
counterclockwise.
As mentioned somewhere in Adobe's DSC spec (and specified in most PPDs
for PostScript
printers), landscape is defined as a rotation of plus 90 (i.e. 90
degrees clockwise).

That would explain alot. It seems that acrobat reader is smart enough
to figure this out and still present the pages with the right
orientation. Thanks, Helge.
