My program (lister) creates the image in landscape mode by using the PostScript rotate and moveto functions. > As I understand this, that means that the PDF file doesn't mention > the detail of page orientation (for your file). True? I don't know the detail of translation to PDF, but I use: ps2pdf -dAutoRotatePages=/None $fullname So the file itself doesn't mention translation and the viewer is instructed not to notice the rotation function. > Are you asking that Skim remember page orientation for one page, > ignoring what the .pdf file says? Perhaps 'page orientation' is a better term to use! I am not asking that Skim remember one page orientation, it's for all pages. Skim already remembers page orientation for all pages. Let me step you through it perhaps more clearly. One of the tools that can be placed in the Skim Toolbar (by the pull-down menu View / Customize Toolbar) is labeled "Rotate". It has two circular arrows. On the left is one pointing counterclockwise and on the one on the right is one pointing clockwise, with a thin line between them. (There are also individual tools "Rotate Right and "Rotate Left".) I put "Rotate" on my toolbar. I click it to rotate (orient?) a page. Skim REMEMBERS MY ACTION FOR ALL PAGES. Skim also REMEMBERS which page I am on when I replace the PDF with an updated one, but Skim FORGETS the orientation of ALL THE PAGES. I expect Skim to remember the page I am on and also to remember that I clicked on the "Rotate" button after a refresh. Since it doesn't I have to keep clicking on "Rotate" each time, though I don't have to keep fixing the page. Skim clearly holds a single parameter defining the display orientation of ALL pages for the entire document. It is NOT, I repeat, NOT the rotation of individual pages independently. When one uses this tool in the toolbar ALL PAGES GET ROTATED. So it only requires ONE parameter to be remembered through a refresh. This bug, and yes, I insist that it is a design bug (or design oversight), is trivial and can probably be fixed using a single variable and a single If statement in the code! Tom Thomas D.
