PDF for online self-pub: Change landscape to portrait, keeping landscape dimensions

I have uploaded an A4 landscape (11.69 x 8.27) PDF to LuLu for self-publishing but get an error - bbook size is not available.

 

LuLu feedback/hack:

Print-on-demand printers tend to print landscape pages sideways, so even if you are creating a wide format book (9 x 7 in), the uploaded source document page orientation must be set to Portrait, with page dimensions defined with the width wider than the height.

 

How do I modify PDF (or InDesign file) to be PORTRAIT with LANDSCAPE dimnesions? Example: Portrait 11.69 x 8.27

 

Thank you!

    If you do not want to convert the content, and just rotate the pages, you can do that in Acrobat. Open your document and then go to the thumbnail page view. Right-click on any of the pages and select "Rotate Pages", then select to rotate all the pages. Is thi what you had in mind?
