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

[Claus Dietrich]

Hi Gianluigi

..old2.pdf is a landscape PDF document and as you can see, it is also 
not displayed correctly in your app. The reference PDF 
(...landscape3.pdf) which I attached to my last post is also a landscape 
PDF and is also not displayed correctly in my and your app (tested!). 
The contents of the reference PDF just looks more familiar because the 
text was rendered in landscape direction. What I (and the client in the 
German Gambas Club) are looking for is a solution for correct reading 
and displaying of a landscape PDF out of a pdfDocument class. Since the 
pdfDocument class in the old gb.pdf component doesn't have this problem 
I was assuming that the gb.poppler component might have a bug but the 
gb.poppler-fix of last night didn't change anything. I hope that Benoît 
can give an advice.

Best regards

Claus
