Rotating PDF in C# Using iTextSharp

The document discusses programmatically rotating pages when splitting a PDF document into multiple files using iTextSharp in C#. Rotating the pages is necessary because splitting may result in pages appearing upside down. Several solutions are provided to explicitly rotate pages 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees to properly handle page orientation during splitting.

Rotating PDF in C# using iTextSharp

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( )); // create the filestream using (Fi eStream fs = new Fi eStream(outputFile, Fi e!ode."reate)) { // create the output writer PdfWriter output!riter = PdfWriter.Get#nstance(inputDoc, fs); inputDoc.Open(); Pdf"ontent$%te c" = output!riter.Direct"ontent;

// copy pages from input to output document for (int i = start; i <= end; i##) { inputDoc.SetPageSize(inputPdf.GetPageSizeWithRotation( )); inputDoc.NewPage(); Pdf#mportedPage page =

I tried your code and it worked fine for me; split pages kept their original orientation.

A workaround might be to explicitly rotate your pages 180 degrees. Replace: c" .&dd'emp ate(page, With: c" .&dd'emp ate(page, % f, $, $, % f, inputPdf.GetPageSizeWithRotation(i).Width, inputPdf.GetPageSizeWithRotation(i).(eight); If your call to inputPdf.&etPage'otation(i) returns 180 then you can handle this in the if statement that follows (using my suggested code for rotation == 180).

You should try this. It worked for me: if (rotation == ($ || rotation == )*$) { if (rotation == ($) { c".&dd'emp ate(page, $, % f, f, $, $, reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation } if (rotation == )*$) { c".&dd'emp ate(page, $, .$F, % .$F, $, reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation } } e se { c".&dd'emp ate(page, }

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 page'otation = reader.GetPageRotation(currentPage+nde,); var page!idt- = reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(currentPage+nde,).Width; var page.eig-t = reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(currentPage+nde,).(eight; switch (page'otation) { case $/ 0riter.Direct"ontent.&dd'emp ate(i1portedPage, f, $, $, f, $, $); brea); case ($/ 0riter.Direct"ontent.&dd'emp ate(i1portedPage, $, % f, brea); case

f, $, $, page.eig-t);

2$/ 0riter.Direct"ontent.&dd'emp ate(i1portedPage, % f, $, $, % f, page!idt-, page.eig-t

A little change in above code old code case )*$/ 0riter.Direct"ontent.&dd'emp ate(i1portedPage, $, new code case )*$/ 0riter.Direct"ontent.&dd'emp ate(i1portedPage, $, This will fix the issue with 270 degree rotation
