Hi all,

I'm a new user and I'm testing the last Quick PDF Library trial version just downloaded.

One of the first strange things I found is that if I try to extract text with GetPageText function in mode 5 in a page rotated 90 degrees I obtain a completely wrong set o characters length

Example:

"BOYIBF+Courier",#000000,9.96,104.692,792,104.692,222.0242,96.1961,222.0242,96.1961,792," ORDINE N. 234 DEL 15/07/11"
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,-8.4959

This doesn't happen if the page is not rotated.

Any idea concerning this?

If necessary I can send or upload the sample file...

Thank you,

Giorgio

Gio,

If you call QP.NormalizePage(0); before calling GetPageText then it will reset the page rotation to 0 and the text extraction will work as expected.
