Re: [hylafax-users] Fax rotation difficulties with Itext

[Matt Schulze <matthew.schulze@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello again,

As there has been no response to the original post regarding Hylafax
failing to transmit rotated PDFs as rotated, I figured that a sample
file or two might help :-) Attached are a pair of sample PDFs that
display the described behavior when sent via Hylafax. 

Any assistance in resolving the issue would be appreciated.

I am having a bit of difficulty sending rotated PDFs over Hylafax. The
original orientation of the PDF is landscape, and it is rotated 90
degrees to portrait via the Itext Java library. When viewed in a PDF
image viewer, the files appear to be properly reoriented.

When the document is sent via fax, the receiving machine prints the
content as if it were not rotated - each page consists of
landscape-formatted data truncated to fit on to a portrait-orientation
page. 

This behavior appears to be specific to Itext-rotated PDFs; documents
that are rotated using the pdflib library are successfully displayed as
reformatted by the receiving fax machine.

Any assistance with getting Hylafax to handle landscape->portrait
rotation using Itext would be greatly appreciated.
