Here’s code that works: after the page has been rotated by 90 degrees, the
field’s contents appear vertical, as expected.
There’s a glitch, though:
templateAcroForm.getField("field0")
returns null
which is why I use
final PDField templateField0 = templatePdfFields.get(0);
instead, to retrieve the field from the form.
I am not sure why the field is null in the first case.
