Hi,
The ExtractText tool (in the tools subproject) has a "magicRotation"
option, did you try that one?

Hello,
I've experimented with the Extract Text Sample and have been successful in
extracting text. As a requirement, I only extract text that is in a certain
named separation and at (integer) rotation angle values.
Now there is a requirement to get the start (x,y) position of the each of the rotated text
strings. I tried capturing the TextPostion of the start of the line during the extraction
process (writeString) and then applying a "reverse rotation" using the geometric
x'=xcosθ-ysinθ etc. formula" but that didn't appear to give the correct results, as I am
seeing negative coordinate values. I suspect that there is a matrix transformation that I am
missing.
Now I may have misunderstood the process here, so if someone could point me in
the right direction then I would appreciate that.
Thanks in advance.
