i am using pdf995. my drawing has landscape orientation so i print it landscape. when i open it using adobe it is rotated. even if i save a copy rotate it and save. i close it and reopen and it's portrait again. how can i retain landscape view???

you have to open it it using adobe writer to be be able to save the rotated PDF.
reader won't save the orientation to the PDF.

yeah that makes sense, not the answer i wanted to hear but oh well...

Actually, in the Preferences for your Distiller (or equiv.?) can you not change the orientation to Rotated Landscape?  I had the same problem you're mentioning until I changed that setting.

Printing Preferences, that is...

i'm more curious than anything it's not a big deal

It was a big deal for me....Otherwise, I would have had to physically open every single one of the almost 4,000 drawings I just converted to PDF and rotate them.  This way, I just changed the orientation and ran my batchplot.  Everything's hunky-dory now.

...Now, if could just automate the process of merging PDF files into one file...

Why not use "Create PDF from Multiple Documents" in acrobat
it works really well

I'll remember that for the future, but I don't think that would have helped me.  I have too many files to do...
Thanks for the tip!
