Unfortunately, Adobe officially doesn't support landscape in their version.
Sun ported a version and added the -L option.  I was told by Adobe that they
are thinking of adding it to a later version.  We are getting Adobe source
and will be modifying it with information that I received from another net
person.

When someone else also posted a message like you did, I went digging through
our manuals and the script files.  Nowhere was the -L option supported.
So I asked Adobe and got the answer I gave above.
