Tom and Rafael, So far that was the only solution that worked fine for me. pdflatex still have some problems dealing with eps files so that ps2pdf is the only alternative I can use. I consider that the way ps2pdf handles the landscape clause (or better say ignore!) is a bug, and I wonder if this s

I do this with XFig. Open a new document and import your landscape PS file using the "picture" tool (the photo camera button). When doing this use any picture size you want. You'll get a dialog where you can browse and pick up the desired file. Just before clicking "done" click "use original size"

Damn, I had to make a presentation using a laptop and a projector. I could not use a PDF file because acroread would not show the document in landscape. From the previous messages the way to convert the PS to PDF is given by the next example. Say the latex file is: \documentclass[semhelv,landsca

Maybe a better way to do this, rather than edit the ps file is to issue >> dvips -t landscape filename.dvi -o to get the landscape ps file. However when you convert to pdf the page is shown sideways and on my acroread i cannot rotate it. Viewing a presentation sideways is not fun. Any ideas

I tried this recently. What happened was that ps2pdf gave rubbish looking results. I don't know why this happens, but the quality is far worse than for pdflatex. pdflatex, whilst quality is good, doesn't recofgnise the \specials from fancybox package of pstricks of some such. Therefore the pdfl
