Layout Print > PDF Upside Down

An unusual occurence has been that my Site Plan View when inserted and printed to PDF turns upside down in the PDF. Only 1 sheet of 8 is wrong, the others are all OK. Having read the posts I changed from Bulzip back to the internal publisher and the problem was solved.
I don't know the cause though. The layout prints perfectly until I add the Site Plan View to the Layout. Then that Layout Flips.

I have exactly the same problem! On several layouts the PDF output is flipped upside down, regardless of whether I print it or I publish a PDF from it!

Anyone has found the reason or has any solution for it?

Hi All,
As it turns out the trick is in the settings. In the user's settings, the auto rotate/center option was turned on. If the auto rotate/center option is turned off, the printer will not turn pages upside down!! Tx, k

That's correct. I just found that out with Karoczkai Akos' help.
Also, the problem seems to disappear if the PDF is inserted in a worksheet as opposed to be placed as drawing directly in the layout.

Cheers.
