PDF does not automatically put the origin (0,0) in the bottom left, it may be anywhere, even way off-screen, given appropriate crop box or media box settings. It merely is quite common for PDF producers to put the origin there. PDF does enforce that y coordinates increase bottom to top (at least in the default user space, i.e. before transformations); this makes having the 0 y coordinate at the bottom a fairly natural choice. > So in order to calculate all four points for the rectangle I should be > able to do something like this, right? > > [...] Then do the matrix math on the TL points then the BR points. Yes, but because widths and lengths may be negative I would not call a point 'upper left' or 'lower right' without doing some normalization before to enforc the names to be appropriate.
