Hi, My mistake, I was assuming the comment field for JIRA account creation was just a usual "dummy" comment used only for exotic situations.
Anyway ; I asked for an account to submit the enhancement request below. I didn't found any similar request on mailing lists. No matter on my end if you create the ticket from that mail or if you finally choose to grant me access for. I currently use PDFBOX (3.x) to print PDF in my company towards printers supplied with preprinted paper (company branding, legal elements and so on). The same printers are addressed by other legacy softwares that also prints on such papers. Problems came for landscape orientation documents (preprinted paper is landscaped). Documents printed from other softwares have heading oriented (let's say) to the left whereas documents printed thru PDFBOX have header oriented the opposite side (to the right so). Thus, half of the documents are printed upside down regarding the paper preprinted elements. As other legacy software are proprietary without evolution possibility, lone foreseeable solution would be supporting printing a new way for the PDFBOX printed documents. >From my first investigations, the Java printing API, on which PDFBOX rely, has >a reverse landscape orientation option which is currently not present in >PDFBOX (only auto, portrait and landscape available). Looking a bit further, >aside the trivial CLI support for such option, it seems, at first sight at >least, a simple enhancement located in a single PDFBOX class. Indeed so called >reverse landscape option in Java layer looked coupled with a transformation >matrix used in the same class. Taking into account the way PDFBOX proceed with >landscape implementation computation, it would probably only require to set >the reverse landscape option as the format to have the Java part doing the >magic I need. Theoretically, the same could exists for portrait orientation ; but it seems (at least on my own) practically a nonsense. Indeed, it seems arguable to arbitrary choose to rotate either left or right the visual to render landscape and "meet the paper tray" whereas printing portrait upside down seems not. So my first feeling is to not require implementing the latter ; but I may personally miss some use cas Her it would. Finally, as I need to solve my company problem, I'll check to implement the feature on my own as a patch (regarding the way ASF works) ; which would so require a JIRA ticket to the be then shared with PDFBOX project. By the way if my analysis isn't complete, erroneous and/or that you see additional parts of code that would be necessary to change also, for such feature enhancement, please let me know. Taking into account above mentioned elements, please let me know next steps the way you prefer to be able advancing on this topic. Thanks in advance.
