I am try to take multiple pdfs documents with various page sizes and
orientations and make one new pdf document with all of the pages in the same
orientation (Portait) 8.5 x 11. I need to do this so that the result can be
bound in a book.
SUDO code below
loop over documents and pages
mysourcepage = mywriter.getImportedPage(myreader,PDFSOURCEPAGENUMBER)
gets 1 page
myrotationsourcepage =
myreader.getPageSizeWithRotation(PDFSOURCEPAGENUMBER) get rectangle of
page size
temp = NewDocument.newPage() add page to
writer
CBtext = mywriter.getDirectContent() create a place to
store page
before writing
NewDocument.setPageSize(rec)> set page size
CBtext.addTemplate(mysourcepage,WidthScale,rot_3,rot_4,HeightScale,adjusted_x_start,adjusted_y_start)
End loop
In the last line I have to scale the pages to fit when 11x17 or 11x14 etc
page occur
I also move the placement of the page around to acomadate headers footer and
page numbers, addtional scaling is required when header footers or page
number are used.
Depending on how the original documents are created effects my final
document.
For instance if some where to scan a document in landscape format the page
would be 11x8.5 by orientation would be 0
but its also possble that it was scanned as Portait then rotated 90 degrees.
The end result is the same when looking at the pdf but not when copying and
writing the pages.
when I use the rotation parameter in addtemple (rot_3,rot_4 above) with a 1
and -1 the page is skewed on an angle. if I don't use the rotation the
original page is placed on portait page in landsacpe orientation. ( see
example)
Would appreciate any help
