FM9 makes landscape pages into portrait when saving as PDF

Question

I have FM9, Windows7 Professional 6.1.

One doc has landscape pages, but when I save to PDF I get portrait pages cropped left and right.

I reinstalled FM9, got the updates (which weren't in the download of FM9 -- whyever not?), and I got the right orientation once. Next day, back to portrait for these landscape pages.

Today I tried to install FM12 as a trial, but it won't. I get to the "Currently Installing Adode PDF Creatino Add-on XI" and that's where it stops, 42% complete. So that won't be any help. I was hoping FM12 would not have this problem.

You need to select a Distiller joboptions file where the "Auto-Rotate Pages" option is set to "Individually" instead of "Collectively by File" or "Off".

Regarding the trial, if you already a version of Acrobat installed, you must NOT use the default options for installation. This tries to install the PDF Creator add-on (essentially a limited form of Distiller) that will conflict with the existing installation. The install may either overwrite part of the exising Acrobat insallation or fail and still damage the existing installation.
