Hello
I hae many pdf sheet, and each time I open one of them, it is portrait, and I had to rotate the sheet as landscape,
How can I set it up to open every time as a landscape?
thanks

[#2]

It's not "opening" in portrait, that's how the document was created. If you
created it out of AutoCAD then you have to tweak the print settings of your
pdf driver so it will produce a document in landscape.

The best way is to create them with correct rotation directly.
Other than that it is depending on what program you use to view the PDFs if
it is possible or not.

I always make my PDF's set as landscape and they too always open as portrait, not just from AutoCAD either. This is an issue with Adobe Acrobat, that thinks pages are always portrait.
Additionally if creating custom pages in Acrobat Writer you need to ensure that they are defined by the portrait size otherwise they will crop incorrectly.

It can be a little tricky to get it work depending on version you have of
Acrobat but it sure is possible to have them created "correct".

You have to change the orientation of the plot from the pdf driver
properties, not just the AutoCAD layout. Set the orientation to rotated
landscape. Ignore the sheet layout preview in the AutoCAD plot properties it
shows it as portrait but will come out landscape. see attatched image.

If the files were created with Acrobat Pro 06 drivers then portrait it is.
I have not been able to get that driver to create landscape in any way. If
the files are not rotated at creation then you have to rotate. I do not
know but you may be able to create a batch routine in Acrobat to rotate all
the files. When we create the PDFs they need to be rotated and that gives
my users the opportunity to "eyeball" the files to make sure all is ok
before they are distributed, that is if they even bother.

IF you have Acrobat Pro, CTRL+R or CTRL+SHIFT+R. This actually rotates the image.

If you have only Acrobat Reader, View, Rotate View. This doesn't "stick"

I make a LOT of PDFs some days. I have found it helpful to create "custom" paper sizes for the PDF driver for landscape Arch E and E1.

Peace,
