Combining PDF from Autocad with Acrobat results in 180 degree rotated printing

Question

In AutocadLT 2015 I publish a sheet set with the DWG to PDF printer.

Then I receive additional PDF sets generated from Autocad from my consultants.

I then use Acrobat to combine the multiple multi-page PDFs into a single multi-page PDF.

It looks perfect when viewing on screen (all pages have the same rotation).

The problem is that when plotting the new combined file, one of the original multipage documents prints with a 0 degree rotation while others print with a 180 degree rotation.

This may not seem like a problem but it is when you send the files out to a printing company and they have to check every page for proper orientation before stapling into a set.

The printing company has no idea why this would happen.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hi paulj14838994,

Sorry for the delay in response.

Is it possible for you to share the file or at least a sample file using which you are able to reproduce the issue?

If you can share the file, you may use Adobe Send or Google Drive or Dropbox to send it privately via private message: How Do I Send Private Message

Also, help us with the description of the printer you are using to print the combined file? And the current version of Acrobat/Reader you are using?

Will be waiting for your response.
