I'm working on creating some PDFs with software I've created. I've
run into a little issue regarding the creation of landscape PDF
documents.
How I have done it, and it seems to work fine, is make the mediabox
landscape in orientation:
/MediaBox [ 0 0 792 612 ]
The rest of the PDF is simple text. Very simple. :)
Now, I've heard when doing landscape, I should actually create the
document as portrait, and use rotate 90 to rotate it to landscape.
This poses an issue. Since it's just simple text, that means the text
would have to also be rotated along with the document. I've played
with Tm and really can't quite figure it out.
So my question is, is there a "right" or a "wrong" way to do landscape
documents? Or are both perfectly acceptable. If the way I'm doing it
is wrong, where can I find more info on Tm to be able to figure out
the text rotation/etc values I need to use to get it to work? (PDF
spec really didn't tell me much).
The issue I'm having is using software that overlays one PDF onto
another. The ovelay is created portrait with rotate, and my PDF is
landscape, which causes the sotware to not overlay correctly, and make
the overlay 90 degrees off.
Thanks for any insight!

No ideas here? Does everyone create landscape PDFs with rotate 90
except me?
