I understand that for a landscape page the dimensions are 'length x width'
instead of 'width x length' ( which are the dimensions for portrait page).

In current scenario even for landscape page the dimensions being used by
'/usr/bin/pdftops' are width x length instead of length x width.

Why can't we provide the length and width as input to '/usr/bin/pdftops'
in pdftops.c file so that it works correctly for landscape mode ? 

Instead of forking "/usr/bin/pdftops -level3 <file> -" from pdftops.c why
can't we fork "/usr/bin/pdftops -level3 -paperw <size->length> -paperh
<size->width> -expand <file> -" in case the user wants to print page in
landscape ?
