Is there a way to use Applescript to change the page setup/orientation
(portrait or landscape) of a document in an application that doesn't
have this built-in??

...by the way, the Mac OS X version is Mac OS 10.4.10 and the
application is MultiAd Creator 7.0.5.

You might want to contact the publisher of the application and ask if it
can do what you want.

Some applications do not store this property: each time you print they
revert to portrait mode.

Some applications store this property just once for the application as a
whole.  You can change the setup using 'defaults' or NSDefaults.

Some applications store this property in the document file.  You could
modify he document file somehow to change the setting for that file.

I think that figuring out which model your application uses would be a
start.

PS: Don't cross-post within a hierarchy.  Pick a group and exhaust that
one before trying another.
