Stamping Rotated Pages...

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have pdf files that need to be rotated and then stamped at the bottom of the page.  They are 8 1/2 x 11 inch pages in landscape position that need to be rotated to portrait position.  When I use the RotatePage Function it also changes the co-ordinate system by 90 degress so that when I try to stamp at the bottom of the 8 1/2 x 11 portrait page it actually stamps on the left or right side not the bottom.  Can someone help me?  I tried adjusting using the SetOrigin function but nothing I try seems to work.  I would GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY aSSISTANCE.

THANKS,
CURTIS

	Hi, Yes, the rotating of the origin took me a while to figure out, but I finally got it working. I published all of my source code on this forum [here]. The source contains a lot of code in order to place the text in any corner, or as a watermark, so you should be able to delete what is not relevant to you. Finally, the lines that are key for what you are looking for are these: ' Check for page rotation. If oPDF.PageRotation = 0 Then ' Set origin to Upper LH rtn = oPDF.SetOrigin(1) PageHeight = oPDF.PageHeight PageWidth = oPDF.PageWidth Else ' Set origin to Lower LH (before page is rotated for viewing) rtn = oPDF.SetOrigin(0) ' In this rotation, X&Y are reversed, Height is Width & Vice versa PageHeight = oPDF.PageWidth PageWidth = oPDF.PageHeight End If . . . . ' Apply the text to the page If oPDF.PageRotation = 0 Then rtn = oPDF.DrawRotatedText(x, y, i, Temp) Else rtn = oPDF.DrawRotatedText(y, x, 90 + i, Temp) End If Cheers! Michel.
