Of these, 65 of them end up rotated 90 degrees for no reason. The .log file mentions the fact, saying page is rotated 90 degrees and a glance at the output document confirms this. What is happening? Why is it happening? Why is it not documented? How do I make it stop happening? I have looked at the source to pdflatex without finding anything that fiddles with the "rotate" angle. I have done experiments including changing the \textwidth without finding anything that has any effect. I have no clue why some images are rotated and some are not; it is not a function of image-width or anything simple like that. Putting an explicit [angle=0] directive on the \includegraphics has no effect. I have scrutinized the image files using "identify -verbose" and "pdfinfo" without finding anything that would explain the observed behavior. I have searched the archives of the mailing-list as best I could using the modest search facilities available. I have skimmed the open and closed bugs on the bug-reporting system. I downloaded the latest tetex-texmf distro from ctan to make sure the problem exists in that version. The problem is 100% reproducible. Version info from the head of the .log file is: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) (format=pdflatex 2005.2.23) 23 FEB 2005 23:32 entering extended mode **how.tex (./how.tex LaTeX2e <2003/12/01> Babel .... If you need the next level of detail, I will have to cobble up a document that demonstrates the problem. (I don't think you want to look at the multi-megabyte example I already have, and it's proprietary anyway.) But for the moment I'm hoping somebody will instantly recognize the problem and know the solution, saving me the trouble of cobbling up a demo document. Please let me know what info you need. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=300&group_id=106
