Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation

[Gilad Denneboom]

After a lot of trials and tribulations I think I was able to solve this
issue... I had to go back to the lowest-level results and re-build the rect
from scratch, and it seems to work now. I'll test it some more but thanks a
lot for the tips, they put me in the right direction.

I'd go from the rect to the quads as the quads reflect the edges of the rect 
(with some padding if you'd do it the same way as Acrobat does but that's not 
necessary). So the first step would be to get the rect correct.

Try this sample for the rectangle

PDRectangle position = ew PDRectangle();
position.setLowerLeftX(82);   // llx
position.setLowerLeftY(102);  // lly
position.setUpperRightX(92);  // urx
position.setUpperRightY(147); // try

 When drawing the annotation you have to think like you draw it on

 With that the calculation of the quads is
 
 float[] quads = new float[8];
 quads[0] = position.getLowerLeftX();
 quads[1] = position.getLowerLeftY();
 quads[2] = quads[0];
 quads[3] = position.getUpperRightY();
 quads[4] = position.getUpperRightX();
 quads[5] = quads[1];
 quads[6] = quads[4];
 quads[7] = quads[3];
 
 Hope that helps.

Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation

[Gilad Denneboom]

I know the principle behind it. My question is how do I do that... How do I
get from the one set of coordinates to the other.
Would it maybe be better to rotate the rect and then convert it to quads
using the same method, or the other way around?

Hi,

you have to draw the annotation rect as if the page is unrotated i.e. look at 
the page in portrait mode not landscape.

Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation

[Maruan Sahyoun]

the Rect is more around. The upper left corner is from where you have to 
calculate as this is the the lower left of the unrotated page.

position.setLowerLeftX(82);   // llx
position.setLowerLeftY(102);  // lly
position.setUpperRightX(92);  // urx
position.setUpperRightY(147); // try

 Hi Gilad,
 
 sorry that it took so long to answer your question.
 
 When drawing the annotation you have to think like you draw it on the
 unrotated page with your pages upper left corner being the lower left
 corner and the width and height of the annotation rect being swapped.
 
 With that the calculation of the quads is
 
   float[] quads = new float[8];
   quads[0] = position.getLowerLeftX();
   quads[1] = position.getLowerLeftY();
   quads[2] = quads[0];
   quads[3] = position.getUpperRightY();
   quads[4] = position.getUpperRightX();
   quads[5] = quads[1];
   quads[6] = quads[4];
   quads[7] = quads[3];
 
 Hope that helps.
 
 BR
 Maruan

 The details of the highlight added in PDFBox are:

Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation

[Gilad Denneboom]

No luck, I'm afraid... The new quads array is:
[104.73436,751.22327,104.73436,757.2535,147.8024,751.22327,147.8024,757.2535]

And the resulting PDF is attached...​

Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation

[Maruan Sahyoun]

Hi Gilad,

sorry that it took so long to answer your question. 

When drawing the annotation you have to think like you draw it on the unrotated 
page with your pages upper left corner being the lower left corner and the 
width and height of the annotation rect being swapped.

With that the calculation of the quads is

float[] quads = new float[8];
quads[0] = position.getLowerLeftX();
quads[1] = position.getLowerLeftY();
quads[2] = quads[0];
quads[3] = position.getUpperRightY();
quads[4] = position.getUpperRightX();
quads[5] = quads[1];
quads[6] = quads[4];
quads[7] = quads[3]; 

Hope that helps.

BR
Maruan

Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation

[Gilad Denneboom]

Does that help anyone find a solution for this issue? I think it could be
useful for more operations within PDFBox, relating to rotated pages.

Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation

[Gilad Denneboom]

OK, here's a file that demonstrates the issue. I'm attaching the original
as well as the version highlighted using PDFBox and the one I highlighted
manually in Acrobat, for comparison purposes.

The details of the highlight added in PDFBox are:
Rect:[104.73436,751.22327,147.8024,757.2535]
Quads:[104.73436,755.2535,147.8024,755.2535,104.73436,749.22327,147.8024,749.22327]

I don't know of a utility. I assume you need to use AffineTransform math 
to calculate the coordinates, i.e. a rotation and a translation on one 
axis. Note that rotations always go around the 0 point, that's why you 
need the transation.

Hi all,

Hoping someone can help me with this issue...
I have a tool that adds new highlight annotations to a page. It works very
well, except for when the page is rotated. I know I need to apply a
transformation to my rect and/or quads to get them to match the rotated
user space, but I just can't get it to work.
Is there a utility in PDFBox (I'm using 1.8.11 at the moment) that can
help me perform this transformation so I can place my annotations at the
right location on these pages?

Thanks a lot in advance for any helpful tips...

I ended up with a transformation that I applied to the coordinates of my
unrotated annotation.

Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation

[Gilad Denneboom]

Did you create a generic converter, or did you just hard-code the results
you got from manually rotating the page?
I'm sure it's possible to abstract this transformation to a formula that
could be applied to the quads to rotate them so that they fit the page's
rotation. I just can't seem to figure it out...
I actually think that the Matrix2D object in Acrobat's JavaScript does
that, but it's too opaque for me to figure out how it works, exactly. I can
post the source code for it, if anyone is interested.

Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation

[Karl Heinz Kremer]

I came up with a solution for such a problem in a previous job (which means
I don't have access to the code anymore). The process I used was to create
test documents in all rotations, with annotations in all four rotations in
Adobe Acrobat. I then analyzed the files and came up with a transformation
for every case. I then just used a switch statement for the four different
page rotations to place my annotation in the correct spot.

Hope that helps,

Karl Heinz

Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation

[Gilad Denneboom]

It's a highlight.

Let me give you the background. I'm using a variation on PrintTextLocation
to find the locations I want to highlight and then add them. As I wrote, it
works very well in pages with zero rotation, but the results are skewed
when the pages are rotated.
What I mean by skewed is that they appear on the location of the page where
the text would have have been had it not been rotated, if that makes sense.
I'll try to set up a simple example that demonstrates this issue and share
it.

Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation

[Maruan Sahyoun]

Hi,

what type of annotation are you trying to put on the page. I could create a 
little sample placing an annotation at the (visual) upper left corner of a 
portrait and landscape page.

I'm not an annotation expert, but according to the spec both the Rect and the
QuadPoints values are specified in default user space which doesn't include any
rotation or scaling. But I have no clue where to put these information instead.
Can you create a sample pdf with such an annotation using acrobat or something
similar so that we can have a look how it looks like?

Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation

[Gilad Denneboom]

Hi all,

Hoping someone can help me with this issue...
I have a tool that adds new highlight annotations to a page. It works very
well, except for when the page is rotated. I know I need to apply a
transformation to my rect and/or quads to get them to match the rotated
user space, but I just can't get it to work.
Is there a utility in PDFBox (I'm using 1.8.11 at the moment) that can help
me perform this transformation so I can place my annotations at the right
location on these pages?

Thanks a lot in advance for any helpful tips...
