/*
* Rotate Pages:
* Rotate the pages of an existing PDF document
*
* Import a PDF page and place it in the output document with a different
* orientation using different methods:
* - option "orientate": the simplest approach
* - option "rotate": requires translation of the reference point
* - option "transform": allows arbitrary transformations of the page
* including rotations which are not necessarily a multiple of 90 degrees
*
* Required software: PDFlib+PDI/PPS 9
* Required data: PDF document
