I don't do a lot of printing and even less modifying of PDF files but perhaps pdftopdf can be of help here. It's in the cups-filters-core-drivers package. > If you have a document or image that you are converting to a pdf then > if you format the document or image landscape then the exported pdf > will also be landscape.

Yes, the PDF is a complete description of a number of pages. It is possible to change some things by pre-pending some Postscript to change the meaning of some verbs, though it’s so long (couple of decades) since I last fiddled at this level that I can’t remember the details. So you could turn pages around (rotate the content by 90˚), but that won’t reflow any text/re-arrange the contents. One trick I do recall doing was where we printed inbound faxes on our SCO OpenServer system at a previous job. I changed the meaning of the “showpage” operator so that instead of just printing the currently imaged page, it would add a header to the page with key details (date, time, number, etc) and then print the imaged page. At the same place I also did a custom text-ps script, adding in options to use some of the printer specific features we had on our printers - like doing A3 landscape on a laser instead of printing to the old green lined fanfold.

[DNG] lpr print pdf file landscape orientation
I have bsd-lpr. I can print a text file with landscape orientation with $ lpr -o landscape file.txt My problem is that I cannot print pdf files in landscape orientation. $ lpr -o landscape file.pdf does nothing. I don't want to make landscape the default CUPS orientation. Atril rotates the display of the PDF, but not the content of the file in relation to the page when printed.
