Followup-For: Bug #503191 Package: ghostscript Version: 8.62.dfsg.1-3.2lenny0 Tags: patch
Package: texlive-extra-utils Version: 2007.dfsg.2-4I also have .eps -> .pdf rotation problem. I have an .eps file (attached) that has a line
%%Orientation: Landscape and which look correctly in gv 3.6.5. Converting it by epstopdf (v2.9.5gw) from package texlive-extra-utils,which now (since 2004/03/17 v2.9.1draft) does contain the -dAutoRotatePages=/None option
(despite of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=199511#30 ), the resulting .pdf looks rotated in xpdf (or acroread) compared to .eps in gv. Converting it by $ gs -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dAutoRotatePages=/None -sOutputFile='allocationwithPhases.pdf' - -c quit < fig/allocationwithPhases.eps the resulting .pdf is rotated again. Converting it by $ gs -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile='allocationwithPhases.pdf' - -c quit < fig/allocationwithPhases.eps the resulting .pdf is _not_ rotated. Note that the Submitter's test snowball-sampling.eps file also has %%Orientation: Landscapeline, and shows the same behavior as well, i.e., the.pdf is not rotated leaving out -dAutoRotatePages=/None .
So it is rotated not _despite_ -dAutoRotatePages=/None, but just _because of_ -dAutoRotatePages=/None. So AutoRotatePages=/None is not really ignored. Moreover, perhaps, this time autorotation is just necessary for certain(Landscape?) .eps files, and the bug is not in ghostscript but in epstopdf disabling it hardcoded. Maybe, this more sophisticated patch should be applied to epstopdf:
