Question

am using ghostscript to create pdf file from postscript file. My PS file, doesn t have orientation instructions, so when I want to create landscape pdf file, I m using ghostscript to rotate the page. The problem is, that ghostscript rotates only the first page, and when my pdf file is more than 1 page, the others, are not rotated correctly. Here is the command I m using:

cat $psinput | gs -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOuputFile="/tmp/pdf" 
        -dAutoRotatePages="/None" -c "<< /Orientation 3 >> setpagedevice" 
        90 rotate 0 -595 translate -dNOPAUSE -dEPSCrop  -f - -c -quit

Does anybody have an idea how to correct this?

Answer 1

Without seeing your actual $psinput it is difficult to give definite advice. Your $psinput, coming via stdin to Ghostscript, could contain multiple PS files... Have you tried playing with one of these options

-dOrient1=true
-dOrient1=false

in your commandline? Also, it looks to me like you should put your 90 rotate 0 -595 translate command inside the quotes going with -c, and then position the input (-f -) to the very end of processing like so:

-c "<</Orientation 3>> setpagedevice 90 rotate 0 -595 translate" -f - -c quit

Also have you tried to use

-c ".setpdfwrite <<//AutoRotatePages /PageByPage>> setdistillerparams" or
-c ".setpdfwrite <<//AutoRotatePages /All>> setdistillerparams" or
-c ".setpdfwrite <<//AutoRotatePages /None>> setdistillerparams"

on your commandline (with or without your original rotating code)?

Answer 2

If you must not use ghostscript to do the rotation, you can probably use pdftk or impose instead.
