From my experience, the “forbid flipping” option prevent flipping, but only horizontally.
Is there a way to prevent vertical flipping? I know it does not matter for printing, but I want all my patterns to be upright for presentation purposes.

On second thought, the pattern is not flipped but rotated 180°, so the “forbid flipping” option works as intended. Is they any way keep the pattern upright?
I normally arrange my patterns in Piece mode and then export them to SVG and use Inkscape to arrange them manually. This way, I have total control over how the pattern looks when I export it to PDF.
I recently did that too, and I’m glad that the SVG retain it dimension in Inkscape. I’ll skip the layout mode from now on.
Good idea. Can you configure Inkscape to split one big layout into several A4-pages? I never did it with Inkscape
It’s very much a manual approach, which is a pain. But it is possible. I was doing it up until about 3 years ago when I discovered it’s much easier to do in Illustrator.
If you like, I can check how I used to do it. Just let me know, please.
