Flatten/Assemble XDPs with Different orientations

Question

I was able to flatten XDPs into a single PDF successfully using the invokeDDX.
The issue that I am facing now is while merging 4 forms together, if the 2nd or 3rd form happens to be in Landscape orientation, all rest of the forms also convert to the Landscape orientation. Also, when I try printing it, the Printer says the Printer Size did not match Paper type or something of that sort. Following was my DDX:
<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
  <XDP result="MyXDPResult">
    <XDP source="sourceXDP1"/>
    <XDP source="sourceXDP2"/>
    <XDP source="sourceXDP3"/>
    <XDP source="sourceXDP4"/>
  </XDP>
  <?ddx-source-hint name="sourceXDP1"?>
  <?ddx-source-hint name="sourceXDP2"?>
  <?ddx-source-hint name="sourceXDP3"?>
</DDX>
How do I get forms with different orientations to assemble and print? Would appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks,
Saurabh

(no need to save or close if you are going to  use the image processor to batch process images.  The Image processor will open the files run your action a save the file types you set up. When all the file types have been save for a image. The Image processor will close the image and move on to the next image and repeat the process till all image files have been processed.)
