Hello,
 
I have a PDF document where I have a mixture of portrait and landscape pages all in the same Paper size - letter. It prints alright, auto rotate is checked by default but some of our clients complain that it shrinks the landscape to a vertical orientation.
 
I wondered if its possible to have the Auto Rotate checked by default or even locked.
 
Please help.
 
Thanks

If you are into JavaScript, this can be scripted by setting the getPrintParams nUpAutoRotate property to true. There is a bit of sample code here (although it is using a different paramater):

PrintParams properties:
