Thanks for response.

Here is pdfinfo for input pdf file:
$ pdfinfo tag_generator
Producer:       PDF::API2 2.023 [linux]
Tagged:         no
UserProperties: no
Suspects:       no
Form:           none
JavaScript:     no
Pages:          1
Encrypted:      no
Page size:      90 x 144 pts
Page rot:       0
File size:      14233 bytes
Optimized:      no
PDF version:    1.4

I'm unable to reproduce the autorotation in the absence of
orientation-requested=3
option.  I must have been mistaken. Sorry.

"laid on its side" to mean rotated 90° clockwise.
