I am using the below function to split the pdf into two.
Though it is spliting the pdf, the content is appearing upside down. How do I rotate it by 180 degrees.
Please help. below is the code for the same
private static void ExtractPages(string inputFile, string outputFile,
int start, int end)
{
// get input document
PdfReader inputPdf = new PdfReader(inputFile);
// retrieve the total number of pages
int pageCount = inputPdf.NumberOfPages;
if (end < start || end > pageCount)
{
end = pageCount;
}
// load the input document
Document inputDoc =
new Document(inputPdf.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1));
// create the filestream
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(outputFile, FileMode.Create))
{
// create the output writer
PdfWriter outputWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(inputDoc, fs);
inputDoc.Open();
PdfContentByte cb1 = outputWriter.DirectContent;
// copy pages from input to output document
for (int i = start; i <= end; i++)
{
inputDoc.SetPageSize(inputPdf.GetPageSizeWithRotation(1));
inputDoc.NewPage();
PdfImportedPage page =
outputWriter.GetImportedPage(inputPdf, i);
int rotation = inputPdf.GetPageRotation(i);
if (rotation == 90 || rotation == 270)
{
cb1.AddTemplate(page, 0, -1f, 1f, 0, 0,
inputPdf.GetPageSizeWithRotation(i).Height);
}
else
{
cb1.AddTemplate(page, 1f, 0, 0, 1f, 0, 0);
}
}
inputDoc.Close();
}
}
I have found the above answers do not rotate correctly for all 4 of the main rotations.
Below is my code to handle 0, 90, 180 and 270 correctly. This has been tested with a PDF rotated in each of these directions.
var pageRotation = reader.GetPageRotation(currentPageIndex);
var pageWidth = reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(currentPageIndex).Width;
var pageHeight = reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(currentPageIndex).Height;
switch (pageRotation)
{
case 0:
writer.DirectContent.AddTemplate(importedPage, 1f, 0, 0, 1f, 0, 0);
break;
case 90:
writer.DirectContent.AddTemplate(importedPage, 0, -1f, 1f, 0, 0, pageHeight);
break;
case 180:
writer.DirectContent.AddTemplate(importedPage, -1f, 0, 0, -1f, pageWidth, pageHeight);
break;
case 270:
writer.DirectContent.AddTemplate(importedPage, 0, 1f, -1f, 0, pageWidth, 0);
break;
default:
throw new InvalidOperationException(string.Format("Unexpected page rotation: [{0}].", pageRotation));
}
