Hello,

It seems to be very popular question with no answer in tutorial.

Our troubles come from Hylafax (fax server) behaviour for landscape documents. It tries to send it as regular portrait document and crops off almost half of the page making it useless on other side. I tried different PDF-converters (eg, ImageMagic) but quality of output is very low. So, the target is to generate proper (rotated) document.

The question is:
Is it possible to set some page attributes to output everything rotated 90 degrees clockwise?


The only solution for now is templates. But it seems ugly to put all information as template. Most of PDF generators have feature like "rotate / transform".

As an example here is PHP/PDFlib snippet:

if ($do_rotate) {
   PDF_begin_page ($pdf, $page_height, $page_width);

   // Translate the origin of the coordinate system.
   PDF_translate ($pdf, 0, $page_width);

   // Rotate the user coordinate system.
   PDF_rotate ($pdf, 270);
} else {
   PDF_begin_page ($pdf, $page_width, $page_height);
}

This is all it takes to rotate whole output on page.

Any ideas how to do same trick in iText?

Best regards,
Boris
