Okay.... I had not tried gv, but on my PC, gv contradicts evince (gv
gives the behavior you describe, but not evince). I guess I was trying
to fix an evince bug with my patch, doh!
I tried comparing with a third tool, okular, and it matches gv...
It seems to be the fact that pdftocairo rotates the document and uses
"PageOrientation: Landscape", as opposed to pdftops which always keeps
things in Portrait, that confuses my version of evince...
I have not been able to confirm the results when printing, because my
printer always seems to rotate the document to it's longest side, even
when I direct print the postscript... I'll have to try a different printer.
Sorry for the patch, it was only fixing the display of evince.

I don't understand what the problem is or how this patch helps. I
applied the patch and ran:
pdftocairo -ps rotated0.pdf out.ps
Viewing out.ps with gv the page is upside down. Viewing with evince seg
faults with "attempt to allocate widget with width -36 and height 15".
Using pdftops or pdftocairo without the patch both gv and evince display
the page correctly.

Hi all,
I have attached a patch that fixes the rotation in the pdftocairo case.
I found out that the bug was only present for PDF that where page size
width is greater than height. (seem related to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/437550 )
This unifies behavior with pdftops. Please consider merging! All unit
tests still pass.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I've been experimenting with using pdftocairo as a replacement to
pdftops, but I am encountering a bug with document rotation.
"pdftops" respects rotations
"pdftocairo -ps" has correct 90 and 270 degrees, but 0 and 180 degrees
are inverted. Files attached.
I have some time to investigate this, but do you guys think it would
be a poppler bug or a libcairo bug?
Thanks,
Pierre-Luc
