Yes I'm using the PDFlib.

I understand the rotating of the page.  So this is what I am doing: I am
building a page $pdf. If I rotate the page then everything on the page
rotates also. I need to put titles in a 45 degree angle. These titles
can change and there can be between 3-6 depending on the users input. Is
there a way to build this text on a separate page then merge it into the
$pdf page. Or any ideas of how you might do it. If it was just one title
or on a page by itself then I understand how to do it. The problem is
that it isn't.

Thanks

You're using PDFlib?

It works just fine, but you have to understand how PostScript works. 
Calling PDF_rotate rotates the entire page beneath you by that amount. 
Call it first, THEN draw your text.

It may be sensible to wrap the whole thing in a PDF_save and PDF_restore
so you don't have to keep track and manually unrotate.

So:

1. pdf_save
2. pdf_rotate
3. pdf_show
4. pdf_restore
