Document Classes ⇒ Rotating and pdf

[hyndman]

I'm trying to create a pdf file with a table rotated to fit on a single page. The rotating package does the job using \begin{sidewaystable}\end{sidewaystable} except that in the pdf, the whole page appears in landscape while all other pages are portrait. Is there any way of keeping all pages in portrait?

That's not the standard behavior. The following code doesn't produce any landscape pages

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\Blindtext

\begin{sidewaystable}
 \centering
 \begin{tabular}{ccc}
  a & b & c \\
 \end{tabular}
\end{sidewaystable}

\Blindtext

\end{document}

So, please post a minimal working example of your problem.

Your example exhibits the problematic behaviour if you use latex - dvips - ps2pdf.
It is fine if pdflatex is used, or if dvipdf is used, but I can't use either of those because I need some postscript-specific options.
Is there any to avoid the rotated page while using the dvips-ps2pdf route?
