GetPageRotation Method (GdPicturePDF)

In This Topic
Returns the actual page rotation in the clockwise direction, in degrees, of the currently selected page in the loaded PDF document.

This value expresses the number of degrees by which the current page should be rotated clockwise when displayed or printed. It must always be a multiple of 90.

Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function GetPageRotation() As Integer
public int GetPageRotation()
public function GetPageRotation(): Integer; 
public function GetPageRotation() : int;
public: int GetPageRotation(); 
public:
int GetPageRotation(); 

Return Value

The clockwise rotation of the currently selected page in degrees. The returned value can only be 0, 90, 180 or 270. The GdPicturePDF.GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.
Remarks
This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

It is recommend to use the GdPicturePDF.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Just to warn you that in spite of the methods GetPageRotation() and AddPageRotation() are named similarly, they work with different data. Please see the GdPicturePDF.AddPageRotation method for more details about the differences.

Example
How to determine the actual page rotation in degrees. In this example each page of the currently loaded PDF document has been rotated step by step by its page number multiple of 90 degrees.

            status = gdpicturePDF.SelectPage(i)
            If status = GdPictureStatus.OK Then
                status = gdpicturePDF.RotatePage(i * 90)
