Exported PDFs from Word 2007 however, use rotate with height > width.

> Pdfbox does not detect the paper format of the PDF. It
> always says "Orientation 1" even after changing it from
> java:
> document.getPageFormat(0).setOrientation(PageFormat.LANDSCAPE);
> and alternates between "Height 595.0, Width 842.0" and
> "Height 842.0, Width 595.0" (which both is A1 if
> interpreted as mm)
> I tried several PDF-Creators (itext, Openoffice), but
> the Pdfbox always wants to print LETTER in PORTRAIT
> orientation. (the pages are A4)
> Settings the orientation in the printer dialog does not
> help. 
> I believe it get's its info from: 
> /Rotate 90/MediaBox[0 0 595 842]
