	Hi! QuickPDF offers the rotate functionality... If this won't feed your needs only personal maths/calculations will bring you success i fear ;-) Cheers, Ingo

	Hi Ingo So I'm made one sample pdf & then mirror it by Quite plugin. Then I'm examine content with RUPS utility So in mirrored file I'm found an additional stream placed before main stream with data It contents: -1 0 0 1 144.57 0 cm This is a transfomation matrix. So could you give me some guidelines how I'm can place this matrix in my PDF content with QP library functions? Best regards Serge

	Hi! Like i've told: You have to do it by your own and with your own calculations. QP won't support it directly. Have a look in the developer guide and the reference to see what's possible and what not. Cheers, Ingo

	So I'm trying this sequence: int Result=qp.NewContentStream(); qp.SetContentStreamFromVariant(BytesMessage1); qp.MoveContentStream(Result, 1); Where "ByteMessage1" is a converted string with transformation matrix(I'm mentioned above) For my simple file it works quite well.

	Here is some interesting code you might enjoy QP.LoadFromFile("testdebenu (1).pdf", ""); QP.DeletePages(2, 99999); // Make sure we only have 1 page QP.SetOrigin(1); double pw = QP.PageWidth() / 2; double ph = QP.PageHeight() / 2; QP.NewPage(); int capId = QP.CapturePage(1); QP.SelectPage(1); QP.DrawCapturedPage(capId, pw, ph, pw, ph); QP.DrawCapturedPage(capId, pw, ph, -pw, ph); QP.DrawCapturedPage(capId, pw, ph, pw, -ph); QP.DrawCapturedPage(capId, pw, ph, -pw, -ph); QP.SaveToFile("out.pdf"); If you need to use a negative width or height then you need to adjust you x, y position accordingly. Andrew.

	Thank you Andrew Your's example much more simple & clear. So negative width is a horizontal mirror & negative height is vertical mirror. Adjusting x,y I'm can draw copies in required places. Serge
