Re: [hylafax-users] Landscape pdf and sendfax

[Samuel Jobin <sjobin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lee!

Ok, thank you.  I tryied to change my orientation of my pdf.  So, i made:
pdf2ps org.pdf org.ps
cat org.ps | gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
cat org.ps | gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -dNODISPLAY \
-c "<</PageSize [595 842] /Orientation 0>> setpagedevice 90 rotate 0 
-595 translate" -dAutoRotatePages=/All \
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=new.pdf -

But, It doesn't help; i'm still stuck with my landscape pdf in new.pdf. 
I check on the web and everything I found 
(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/cvs/Ps2pdf.htm or 
http://casper.ghostscript.com/~ghostgum/pdftips.htm#landscape) doesn't 
really help me.

Do you know how to do??

Thanks a lot!!

Sam
