page rotation

[jon]

Hello,

I would like to rotate one or more page in a pdf file by programmation.

It seem's that it isn't possible to do this with creator.

The only way I fund it's to print the page and reinsert it into the file...

Have you a better solution?

I would say, a solution is to rotate page with converter's dll and save the file...

A solution with creator?

Another problem... when i do this:

Code: Select all

pdf.open("cdintfex.document")
pdf^open(Filename.pdf)
pdf^rotate(90)
pdf^save(filename.pdf)

The document rotates... but when I do a new time the manipulation, The document stay the same...

I would like to do a complete rotation (180°)

Hello,

The PDF Converter has the ability to rotate pages of existing PDF documents. I have included a snippet of visual basic code to illustrate this.
You have mentioned that the rotate page option is not possible with the PDF Creator, this is not the case. I have also attached a snippet of that code also. Hope this helps.

PDF Converter Code
Private Sub cmdRotate_Click()
On Error GoTo invalid_file
'create an object of type Document
Dim doc1 As New CDIntfEx.Document

' open two existing documents
doc1.Open "C:\temp\FivePageB.pdf"
doc1.Rotate = 90
doc1.Save "C:\temp\FivePageB_rotate_cdintf.pdf"
Exit Sub

invalid_file:
Set doc1 = Nothing
End Sub

PDF Creator Code
Private Sub cmdRotatePage_Click()
Dim Width As Integer
Dim PDF2 As Object
Set PDF2 = CreateObject("PDFCreactiveX.PDFCreactiveX")

With PDF2
.SetLicenseKey LicenseTo, ActivationCode

'Open file to rotate
.Open "c:\temp\sample.pdf", ""
.CurrentPage = 1

'Change report state
.ReportState = acReportStateDesign

'Rotate and change page settings

.ObjectAttribute("Pages[1]", "Rotate") = 90
Width = .ObjectAttribute("Pages[1]", "Width")
.ObjectAttribute("Pages[1]", "Width") = .ObjectAttribute("Pages[1]", "Length")
.ObjectAttribute("Pages[1]", "Length") = Width


'Change report state
.ReportState = acReportStateRun
'save only document view
'Need to save in ViewMode and then reload the page
.Save "c:\temp\sample_rotate.pdf", acFileSaveView

Set PDF2 = Nothing
End With
End Sub

Jose,

I tried your code and it works well for a 90 degree rotation at the first go, but when I execute it a second time, the plain text object contained within the page seems to rotate out of view while the page remains at its initial angle/position.

Could you please explain?

Hi Jon,

We have resolved this situation and we will be releasing an updated version of to the PDF Creator late next.

Thanks
