Thank you very much for the detailed info! I've been very busy with other work, but I will respond here once I have done some more testing and have uploaded a sample PDF and sample code on my personal Google Drive account. It sounds like the proprietary web service should be using only the A

I am almost certain that the expected order is basically top-left to bottom-right, yes. Currently there is no calculation being used that I know of. Flattening: The issue isn't in the actual flattening itself. I need to explain more about the way the PDFs are used. The proprietary softwar

what is the expected order? Is it by location, top left to bottom right? Calculation order ... Never heard that order matters for flattening. Is the proprietry software throwing any errors which would be a hint? BR Maruan Am Dienstag, dem 30.01.2024 um 15:27 -0600 schrieb Dwayne Parks: > Hel
