GetPageText error if PDF rotated

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

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. Andrew.
