I saw this:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/print/PageFormat.html
there is a REVERSE_LANDSCAPE, did you try that yourself?
> Support reverse landscape orientation for printing

> Key: PDFBOX-6005
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-6005
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 3.0.3 PDFBox
> Environment: Windows Server 2019 ; OpenJDK 18.0.2
> Reporter: Nicolas DUFAILLY
> Priority: Major
>
> I currently use PDFBOX (3.x) to print PDF in my company towards printers
> supplied with preprinted paper (company branding, legal elements and so on).
> The same printers are addressed by other legacy softwares that also prints on
> such papers.
>
> Problems came for landscape orientation documents (preprinted paper is
> landscaped). Documents printed from other softwares have heading oriented
> (let's say) to the left whereas documents printed thru PDFBOX have header
> oriented the opposite side (to the right so). Thus, half of the documents are
> printed upside down regarding the paper preprinted elements.
>
> As other legacy software are proprietary without evolution possibility, lone
> foreseeable solution would be supporting printing a new way for the PDFBOX
> printed documents.
