I just looked into GPS_tour.pdf from www.gnat.com, and was slightly surprized:
several pages are rotated (like printed in landscape mode) - for example,
page 29 (and there are others). I wonder, is it intentional, or it is an Acrobat
joke, or it is the result of a particular screen parameters/Acrobat View settings
(15" monitor 1024x768; Acrobat 5.0, View = Fit Width, Continuous).

That's not unusual in documents meant to be printed. If there is a
diagram that doesn't fit in the vertical formatted, it can be rotated to
fit. The ACATS documentation that I inherited has several pages like
that. I agree that it's a pain when reading on a screen.

IIRC, Acrobat Reader can automatically rotate individual pages if the
PDF file has been marked properly.
