Hi, I am having problems working with iText and scanned PDFs.
Scanned PDFs sometimes have the dimensions of a "landscape" document (e.g. horizontal A4) but are rotated to be "portrait" when viewing in a PDF reader. When I try to append content to these documents with PDFStamper, It seems that iText figures out that if it appends content as-is, it will appear sideways; so it tries to compensate for this by appending a cm to the start of either UnderContent or OverContent (depending on what is used). For example, when modifying an A4 PDF with the dimensions 842.40 x 595.44 and the flag /Rotate 270 on each page, iText adds "0 -1 1 0 0 595.44 cm" to each newly added content stream. The problem is that when you use UnderContent and OverContent, iText will add a cm each time which can mean (depending on what you do with UnderContent) that the OverContent will appear "out of phase". Is there any way to stop iText from adding cm operators? My work-around at the moment is to manually append a "Q" after the cm which is probably not an ideal solution.
