Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro Quirk: Solution?

I want to simply copy and paste my Adobe editing mark-ups (clouds, text boxes, etc.) from one pdf to another. It is simple enough in theory, but when I paste into the 2nd pdf, Adobe always turns my mark-ups 90 degrees! I can’t seem to rotate them! I can expand or shrink them, move them laterally or up and down, but not rotate! Any solutions to stop this OR work around this??? Very frustrated! Thx!
