Problem with landscape-oriented pdf

[drsneed]

Hi I've encountered an issue that only seems to occur if a pdf is landscape-oriented. When retrieving the width and height with GdViewer.PagePixelWidth and GdViewer.PagePixelHeight, the values appear to be swapped (Height is larger than Width) even though the page is clearly wider than it is tall. GdViewer.GetRectCoordinatesOnDocumentPixel also returns swapped values. This completely ruins my cropping routine.

Is there a way to detect when the pdf is in landscape orientation so I can code a workaround for this?

Hi,

Thank you for you interest in Orpalis technologies.

The GetPageRotation method retrieves the page rotation (clockwise), in degrees, of the current page of the PDF.

Have you taken into consideration the value returned by this method within your croppping code?

In order to ease your life, I recommend to normalize the page before working with its coordinates. This will let you crop without taking into consideration orientation neither crop box.

Please see the NormalizePage method: https://www.gdpicture.com/guides/gdpicture/web ... ePage.html

Thanks David. Normalizing the page definitely helped. Now I'm getting the correct width and height. However, I'm still getting swapped values when I call GdViewer1.GetRectCoordinatesOnDocumentPixel(ref left, ref top, ref width, ref height); Also, querying for the current rotation (before normalization) returns no rotation.

Actually I just checked, the render rotation is Rotate90FlipNone. But the page rotation is none and the view rotation is none.

Hi,

May I ask you to share the file you are working with? It would help me a lot to better understand.

Thank you,

David

Sure, here it is. The method GdViewer.GetRectCoordinatesOnDocumentPixel(ref left, ref top, ref width, ref height) returns swapped values.

Hi,

It seems the NormalizePage method doesn't work properly with this particular PDF.

The development team is currently working on the topic. We are doing our best effort to include this fix within the next release, which should come in the coming days.

Thanks David. Please let me know when a fix for this is out.
