Ok, I'll start over. This is a question about the gaf postscript 
export, not the pdf export.

I have this small test schematics;

$ cat tt.sch 
v 20121203 2
C 0 0 1 0 0 EMBEDDEDA4liggande.sym
[
H 3 25 2 0 -1 -1 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 3

$

If I do the obvious thing:

 gaf export -f ps -p iso_a4 -m 0 -o tt.ps tt.sch

I get a postscript file which shows fine in gv but at printout, the 
content is rotated 90degrees relative the paper.

The problem does not appear when then schematics rotated in gschem, 
i.e. when the in gschem view on screen is "portrait".

Now, is this a bug in the cairo postscript routines or have I called 
gaf export in the wrong way ?
