[Gambas-user] PdfDocument class - problem with landscape PDFs

[Claus Dietrich]

Hi Benoît

I just tested my app with the up to date master 
(3.18.90+git202312220812.63d9a99e8+build36~ubuntu20.04.1).

Landscape PDFs are still not read as expected. The PDF used for testing 
is attached as reference.

?
