Preview Print Settings

I have pdf documents saved from sources such as a downloaded document from a website. Via the Finder > File > Get Info > Open With I changed them to open in Preview. When I attempt to print a portrait oriented document in Preview it is displayed as a horizontal orientation. I need to change its orientation to portrait to print it correctly. How do I change the default orientation from landscape to portrait in Preview? In my Preview menu there is no option for Page Setup like there is in the Adobe menu. If I keep it as an Adobe pdf document the correct portrait orientation will print. I prefer Preview for printing, it allows me more options with our printer. Thank you, JWTech

I have the problem solved. It took two Mac savvy people at the Mac store a half-hour to solve it. The problem was solved by finding the apple print preferences in the library of the user account then taking them to the trash, emptying the trash and with the next print operation the default orientation was portrait.

Easy solution but has had quite a few people perplexed.
