[Tex/LaTex] how to rotate .eps file

epsrotating

I have a problem with rotation of .eps files for my dissertation. Initially, I thought it was a problem during conversion of .pdf to .eps. I tried the conversion in several ways: using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro in Windows, in Linux the following commands: inkscape input.pdf --export-eps=output.eps and pdftops -eps file.pdf. All methods give good .eps files, but when I try to rotate (90 degree rotation) them in Latex, nothing works.
I used \includegraphics[width=6.0 in,angle=90], also \special{ps: gsave -90 rotate}\......\special{ps: grestore }, and some other methods but with no luck.
Any solutions (Windows, Linux, Mac) will be appreciated.

Make sure you have loaded the graphicx package not graphics then

\includegraphics[width=6.0in,angle=90]{file}

should work.

Note if it is an EPS file then you need latex (and it may not show rotated in a dvi previewer) if you are using pdflatex you should convert the EPS to pdf first (or if I read your question correctly, just use the original pdf not the EPS).
