Why are some pages rotating in book pdf: followup

[Fred Staal]

Here is a followup: The FM pages with pdf graphics (from SolidWorks)
will remain in correct portrait orientation after printing to .ps and
distilled to pdf IF they are rotated ccw 89.999 degrees; however, if
they are rotated 90 degrees they will cause the page to rotate cw to
landscape orientation in the pdf output. It would seem that a rotation
setting to 90 degrees is being confused with some page orientation
setting. Its still difficult to know where this is occuring; I'm wary of
the SolidWorks pdf conversion (is their driver really ps or an
emulator?) but it seems like Acrobat or Framemaker is confused by some
rotation setting as well. ???

Why are some pages rotating in book pdf

[Fred Staal]

We have a number of FrameMaker files that have anchored frames
containing pdf-format graphics made from SolidWorks drawings (imported
by reference, rotated from landscape to portrait, and scaled). When
these files are separately printed to .ps and then distilled to pdf,
everything is fine. When the files are part of a FrameMaker book and the
book is printed to .ps and then distilled to pdf, some pages containing
these graphics will rotate to landscape orientation. 

This does not happen with AutoCad files converted to pdf and imported
into Framemaker, so there is definitely a SolidWorks factor, but only
about a third of the drawing conversions are involved in this rotation
problem. And, what would be different about printing a book versus a
single file? 

Any ideas as to cause or cure would be appreciated.

Thanks, 
Fred
