My choice if I've only one or two files to convert is preview. After
opening the files, I can rotate to landscape and save. For lots of
files, I've a small applescript script that invokes adobe acrobat to
open the files, convert to PDF rotate and save. I use the script
because one of my IDL applications is the analysis of calibration data
which can generate enormous numbers of plots.
Preview is my first choice because it is free. Acrobat is my second
choice because it isn't. I've also used ghostscript on the mac but
find preview and Acrobat much more convenient.
