> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-985
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PDModel
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Reporter: Roberto Mazzola
> Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler
> Labels: print
> Fix For: 1.8.0

> I try to print a PDF using the following code
> {code}
> // aDevice is the printer device Name
> // aData is a byte array of my PDF (stored on a DB)
> ....
> vPrintService = this.getPrintService(aDevice);
> vPrinterJob = java.awt.print.PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
> vPrinterJob.setPrintService(vPrintService);
> vPDDocument = this.getPDDocument(aData);
> vPDDocument.silentPrint(vPrinterJob);
> --
> {code}
> {code: Suppors methods}
> public PrintService getPrintService(String aDevice) throws Exception
> {
> javax.print.PrintService[] vPrintServices =
> java.awt.print.PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
> boolean printerFound = false;
> for(int i = 0; i < vPrintServices.length; i++)
> {
> if(vPrintServices[i].getName().trim().equals(aDevice.trim()))
> return vPrintServices[i];
> }
> return null;
> }
> public PDDocument getPDDocument(GenericBean aData) throws Exception
> {
> byte[] vPageData = (byte[])aData.getValueAtKey("Byte");
> return PDDocument.load( new ByteArrayInputStream(vPageData) );
> }
> {code}
> But if my PDF is LANDSCAPE and the printer instead as PORTRAIT as default,
> PORTRAIT wins and so the report is not well printed.
> Checking the code (based on 1.5.0 and also from lateast trunk) for class
> PDPageable... probably I found the issue.. and I believe that the
> implementation is not right (at least from my point of view).
> Get a look to the getPageFormat method.
> As first it get the page format from the job (PrinterJob)
> PageFormat format = job.defaultPage();
> after it get the (optional) print service from the job (Printer Job)
> PrintService service = job.getPrintService(); // can be null
> If the printer service is not null and it have LANDSCAPE as orientation.. it
> force LANDSCAPE as orientation in the page format otherwise it force it as
> PORTRAIT
> But... in my mind, it should get the orientation from the PDF Page.. and not
> from the printer job / print service.
> I can print documents with different orientation on the same printer and also
> I can have in the same document pages with different orientation.
> Of couse I can make same mistake and read the code in the wrong way... (I
> found this project yesterday....)
> Maybe the "findRotation" method on the PDPage should be invoked and
> "checked".. or something else....
> It this a bug on PDFBox ?
> thanks
