Citing from some webpage:
There is a distiller setting for controlling automatic detection of
orientation. The default is -dAutoRotatePages=/PageByPage. This can be
set to /None if you want to manually determine the orientation.


I understand this in such a way that /None waits for some orientation
to be passed manually, so it automatically applies portrait, while
PageByPage respects the orientation provided by the original PS
document. Maybe I'm wrong, but I never had any problems wih
orientation if I left dAutoRotatePages untouched.

How can I crop EPS figures with pstopdf? -dEPSCrop is commented out in gs.rb.
