We're preflighting some customer-provided PDFs on our PitStop Server (ver.17) which contain the occasional run of Landscape pages.

Preflight -> Page -> Different page orientations -> Change orientations of all pages to: "portrait"
appears to be exactly what we're looking for, except that there seems to be no control over the direction of rotation.

A counter-clockwise rotation (of the stray Landscape pages, to make them Portrait) looks to be the default behaviour.
This is, arguably, OK...
causing a "binding-on-top" situation when reading the once-landscape pages.

Unfortunately (and you knew there would be an "unfortunately"), due to bindery issues and margin-padding, these pages would be better presented in a clockwise-rotated situation, providing for more gutter margin (from what had been the bottom of the Landscape page).

Having exhausted my resources, I was curious if my more-learned collogues might have thoughts on our situation?

Thanks very much for reading.

This is possible with an Action List.
Something like:

Select by Page Orientation > Landscape > and you can then define which page box you want to use, say Trim Box
Rotate Page > -90, 0, 90, 180. you pick.

Test it as an Action List to make sure it gives the result you want.
You can then add the Action List to your Preflight Profile.

Thank you very much for the guidance!

I'll be implementing this shortly.
