Thanks for response. Here is pdfinfo for input pdf file: $ pdfinfo tag_generator Producer: PDF::API2 2.023 [linux] Tagged: no UserProperties: no Suspects: no Form: none JavaScript: no Pages: 1 Encrypted: no Page size: 90 x 144 pts Page rot: 0 File size: 14233 bytes Optimized: no PDF version: 1.4 I'm unable to reproduce the autorotation in the absence of orientation-requested=3 option. I must have been mistaken. Sorry. "laid on its side" to mean rotated 90° clockwise.
