There is an extra attribute inside PDF at the page level
to control the Rotation.  I just added a canvas method
to control this for you; you'll need to get a nightly
build or a CVS copy.

Use a line like this.

  myCanvas.setPageRotation(180) 

some time before the first page is finished, and
it will be visibly flipped.  You can pass in multiples
of 90 degrees.
