It's unchanged in the 2019 edition of XFDF (ISO 19444-1) as "rotation".

Foxit told me that'd need to look into why this was changed, but it's now clearly a problem with them. I guess from now on, I'll have to preprocess the XFDF, because I have no idea how many records were (or will be) produced with "rotate" since we upgraded to Foxit 11.

I have only a 2007 specification and it's "rotation": I didn't find anything in the PDF specification. Weird. Tilman
