I vaguely remember this happening with Acrobat occasionally. Sometimes
Acrobat tries to be too clever and second-guess whether a page is
landscape or portrait. Does the same thing happen when you view the PDF
in Preview/xpdf/ghostview? If so, are the pages the right way up in the
actual PostScript (view with ghostview) ? Knowing this would narrow down
which application is turning pages around when it shouldn't.
