Hi guys,
This is my first post to this mailinglist, please be gentle ;)
I'm working with iTextSharp to generate PDF files. I'm trying to add
links to them, like URLs on websites. I've found that there are 2 ways:
1) just throw in http://www.google.com/ and Adobe Reader at least will
make it clickable; 2) Use an Action, which makes a rectangular area
clickable and assign any URL to it. It takes a bit of magic to get the
rectangle over the right word, but it works.
Now the problem shows up when text is rotated. It seems impossible to
rotate an Action, why? I've tried a few things, for example:
- use ConcatCTM (I'm using the PdfContentByte to write text and
actions): the text is rotated but the action isn't
- throw the Action on a template, then rotate the template (I've put a
test rectangle on, which gets rotated just fine, but the action remains
unrotated)
- put the Action on an Annotation and try to rotate that (again,
ConcatCTM), no luck here either.
Am I doing something wrong? I can't believe it's impossible to have a
rotated link to a webpage, but then I can't really think of a proper use
anyway. If it's impossible, that's ok, this is for a dynamic PDF
generator that may one day have to generate rotated links, but not yet.
Cheers,
Sander
