Congratulations, you have found the egg in Ghostscript. You can disable it with with the undocumented option -dAutoRotatePages=/None... go to Edit/Preferences/Converters/Postscript->PDF and change: ps2pdf13 $$i to ps2pdf13 -dAutoRotatePages=/None $$i or ps2pdf13 -dAutoRotatePages=/None -sPAPERSIZE=a4 $$i I wish the gs team would disable the egg, even if it is in acrobat too. It keeps on turning up whenever I've just forgetten how to disable it, and then since it isn't a documented feature I have to Google dozens of obscure locations to figure out how to disable it. Ugh! Its kind of like if KDE decided to hog memory and crash every five minutes for better windows compatibility... wait what was my point again? ;) Perhaps LyX should disable it by default so users don't have interesting little surprises fifteen minutes before the deadline to email something in PDF format? -- John C.
