Hi,

i create PDF/A documents and there is a pdf file, which rotate from portrait to landscape when i DrawCapturedPage.

The page is always portrait, but the drawed captured page is strethed to landscape in this portrait mainpage!

If i look this PDF in Acrobat, all is fine, it is shown portrait..

I found in this file with Notepad++ following mediabox:

<</Contents 8 0 R/CropBox [ 0 0 842 596 ]/MediaBox [ 0 0 842 596 ]/Parent 1 0 R/Resources 7 0 R/Rotate 90/Type /Page>>

So Acrobat see width=842 and height=596 and also 90° rotation, it shows correctly, but when i DrawCapturedPage it is 90° rotated!

What can i do?

I use Debenu V1312

Ciao

Stefan

using the rotation option means "rotate only when displaying".
This results in unexpected experiences when working on the pdf.
NormalizePage makes "what you see is what you get" with the pdf and as a result the settings inside matching to the behavior outside while showing.
