I have a PDF created in Word 2010 converted to PDF (Acrobat X). Its landscape in word, prints to laserjet in landscape, but when converted to PDF it opens in Acrobat X in portrait orientation. In previous version of Acrobat you could do View > Rotate > clockwise to get it to view correctly landscape, and then Save it. This would allow it to open correctly in landscape next time opened. But this no longer works. Even after rotated then saved that way its still opening t Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I had to select 'organize pages' (green icon). Then select your pdf file.
Once opened, click on the circular arrow to rotate (very common looking icon used for rotating)
Then click the save button (floppy disc icon), and the pdf file will be saved to open as landscape.

Found my own answer. Apparantly there are two ways to rotate - only pone of which gets applied and saved with document:

From the textual menu: View > Rotate View. This rotates the document but will not keep the change when saved. Temporary only. (Why Adobe?)
From the graphical icon menu: Rotate Page icon (page with yellow arrow), opens a rotate properties box with some options > this change applied AND saved with document (Again, Why Adobe?)

Hope this helps someone...
