Auto-rotate pages in PDF (Art Campbell)

[Jay Mahler]

Art, 
Thanks for the suggestion, but the PDF version is out of my control. This is a document going to a large Federal agency, and that is what they require because of their old systems. Besides, I ran a test with PDF Compatibility set to "Acrobat 8.0 (PDF 1.7)," and it made no difference. 

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Have you tried a different Acrobat level? Compatibility with version 5
would be 6 generations old -- pre XP, I think.
I think you'd be safe with v 8 or 9, and it may make a difference just
because so many features have been added since v 5 that the inserted code
may be obtuse.
