I am trying to do this from Powerpoint. I go to the printer options, select landscape, and yet it prints fucking portrait!!!!

ok, perhaps print it as portrait 11x17, then rotate the page in acrobat?

why not just print it from acrobat instead of shaggin round with powerpoint? Make sure you select 'auto-rotation and size' Acrobat is pretty good at working it all out for itself.

print portrait...it might be a glitch in your install...i've had that problem before with powerpoint and other programs...it should work...

i had a similar problem when printing pdfs from acad... it was intermittent, so i never really figured it out.

my workaround was to go acad > eps > photoshop > pdf.

i think its a bug in acrobat... maybe check adobe's web site?
