using a simple setter, you have to add them by using appendRawCommands().
Have a look at drawLine() as an example how to do so.
I have checked the PDF reference for the text positioning, and I have also
checked a lot of PDFBox methods that use raw commands like fillRect(...),
drawLine(...), but I can't find the raw commands defined for PDFBox to make
a rotation ... Is there a documentation or reference somewhere stating those
commands, or if you can please give me an example for it, I will be
grateful.
Best regards ,

Hello ,
I've seen I can use PDPage.setRotation(...) to rotate a page through
PDFBox, but what I'm trying to do is to draw some rotated text. I want
the text to appear rotated 90 degrees.
Is that possible ?
Yes, it is, but you have to use a suitable text matrix as described in
chapter 5.3.1 Text-positioning operators in the pdf1.7 reference.
As the PDPageContentStream class doesn't yet support those commands (see
[1])
