Thanks Daniel, You know. I think I can solve my problem if I could create a PDF that looked the same as the original but w/o the rotation. Do you have any tips on the best way to accomplish that? I saw I could "print" the page. Perhaps, I could print it to another PDF...I was wondering if that would cause it to be rasterized at that point though..

My ideas ... would be that the transformation matrix which we consider in pdfbox.pdfviewer.PageDrawer routines (such as processTextPosition, approx line 179) is not being considered in the case of an Overlay. I'm not sure that's the right answer ... but that's where I'd start looking.
