RE: [iText-questions] Encrypting PDFs makes the encrypted version upside down.

It seems that the code that encrypted it reads the PDF file right-side up, but retains the rotation value of the old PDF file.  Here’s the code if you would like to look.  It just seems so odd to me too:   /*  * $Id: Encrypt.java,v 1.3 2002/02/28 09:08:58 blowagie Exp $  * $Name:  $  *  * This code is free software.

I have a problem encrypting PDFs.  It creates the encrypted PDF upside down.  Is this a bug with iText?  The PDF was created with the version 1.2 specification.
