You're using PDFlib?
It works just fine, but you have to understand how PostScript works.
Calling PDF_rotate rotates the entire page beneath you by that amount.
Call it first, THEN draw your text.
It may be sensible to wrap the whole thing in a PDF_save and PDF_restore
so you don't have to keep track and manually unrotate.
So:
1. pdf_save
2. pdf_rotate
3. pdf_show
4. pdf_restore
