As a point of clarification, I'm pretty sure that, in addition to swapping width and height, rotate() signals PdfDocument to add a rotation cm entry to the beginning of the content stream, and adjusts the rotation dictionary entry for the page.
And I completely agree with the 'messy code for dealing with it' comment. As an example, ImportedPage doesn't preserve the page rotation from the source, which can cause all sorts of mayhem (esp because the page rotation implies an awkward change in origin). - K Mark Storer-2 wrote: > > Ah.
