There are a few hacks here, including formtool, mostly having to do with PDF:

Where can I find the "formtools" of chicks?]]> Sat, 13 May 2006 05:04:02 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/pdfform-landscape_topic404_post1816.html#1816 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/pdfform-landscape_topic404_post1772.html#1772 Author: hkoestner

Thanks Chicks

I will try it.

Well, I haven't had time to play with this too much, but here's a start:

In the RenderPage function, check the page rotation (I'm only checking non-zero here, but would need to be more sophisticated), and set pageWidth and pageHeight accordingly:

    IF iSEDPageRotation() <> 0 THEN
        pageWidth = iSEDGetPageBox(2,3)
        pageHeight = iSEDGetPageBox(2,2)
    ELSE
        pageWidth = iSEDGetPageBox(2,2)
        pageHeight = iSEDGetPageBox(2,3)
    END IF

Also in RenderPage, check the form fields for rotation, and position accordingly:

    scale = iResolution / 72
    FOR i = 1 TO fieldCount
        IF Fields(i).page = iCurPage THEN
            id = Fields(i).fldID
            IF iSedGetFormFieldRotation(id) <> 0 THEN
               Fields(i).x = (iSEDGetFormFieldBound(id, 0) - iSEDGetPageBox(2,0) ) * scale
               Fields(i).y = (pageHeight - iSEDGetFormFieldBound(id, 1) + iSEDGetPageBox(2,5)) * scale
               Fields(i).w = iSEDGetFormFieldBound(id, 3) * scale
               Fields(i).h = iSEDGetFormFieldBound(id, 2) * scale
            ELSE
               Fields(i).x = (iSEDGetFormFieldBound(id, 0) - iSEDGetPageBox(2,0) ) * scale
               Fields(i).y = (pageHeight - iSEDGetFormFieldBound(id, 1) + iSEDGetPageBox(2,5)) * scale
               Fields(i).w = iSEDGetFormFieldBound(id, 2) * scale
               Fields(i).h = iSEDGetFormFieldBound(id, 3) * scale
            END IF
        END IF
    NEXT i

This still doesn't position the field correctly, you'll need to play with that a bit, but it does at least paint it in the correct direction.

Hi chicks,

any idea? - The example was created with Acrobat 6

Can you post an example PDF with the issue somewhere? ]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2006 17:15:02 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/pdfform-landscape_topic404_post1755.html#1755 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/pdfform-landscape_topic404_post1754.html#1754 Author: hkoestner

I am working on a solution concerning the presentation of PDF-forms in a delphi form. The solution is based on the "FormTool" of "Chicks".
With forms in the landscape format the problem occurs that the fields are aligned vertically instead of horizontally.

The problem can also be reproduced with "FormTool".

Does anybody have a solution for this problem?]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2006 14:29:41 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/pdfform-landscape_topic404_post1754.html#1754
