I use a product called PDFFactory which is basically the same thing and it was also creating all my PDFs in portrait. Here's what I didn't to fix the problem, but it may not work with your program but you can try it.

Plot...
Plot Device...
Plotter Configuration (section)
Select your PDF program and click the properties button
Custom Properties button
One of the tab should say something to the effect of "Setup"
There my program has an "Orientation" sections where the default was set to portrait and I just changed the setting to Landscape and saved it as a .pc3 and now use that file as my plotter when I want to plot a drawing as a PDF.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Andrea,
Are you using the rotate command under the DOCUMENT menu?  Sounds like you're using the one under the VIEW menu.
Try that...
