Not sure what to suggest about the problem you describe, Andy, but
Sarah's problem doesn't seem to be related to Windows 7, as I was able
to easily reproduce it on my Vista system.
Jason, I liked your idea of trying to recreate the problem against a
supplied doctype and style sheet, such as Docbook, but I think all of
the supplied style sheets in 6.0 are built for APP, which doesn't play
with Distiller.
I went with the approach of creating a free-form XML document with
just 5 or 6 elements and a minimal Styler sheet that uses obvious
styles for everything, adding a header and footer to the default page
set, copying it and setting the new one to landscape, then invoking
that on a "foldout" element (hrm... clearly, someone's been hanging
out with military DTDs too much, lately) to layout the enclosed
"figure" (just a title and a short para) in landscape.
Both XSL-FO and FOSI engines produced the upside-down page via
Distiller, so it seems pretty likely that this issue is on the Print
Composer side, rather than anything in the style sheet. It'll be
interesting to see whether PTC or Adobe owns up to the root cause.
