Why is my text mirrored horizontally?

Hi,

i have to build one PDF file from many RTF files placed somewhere on the storage. So I used the Aspose.Words package to convert the RTF content to a PDF file.

Furthermore I build a new PDF file with a background with the Aspose.Pdf package with the text content of the converted RTF file (this is a pdf File) before. This final PDF file has watermarks and backgrounds but the RTF file not.

And now the problem is that the text parts in the final PDF file were horizontally mirrored. The question is, why is that so?? I have spent hours for debugging and looking for any wrong configured parameter in the TextInfo or Font namespace, but I've found nothing.

The steps in pseudo code briefly:

1 Create a PDF with background

2 Convert a RTF file to a PDF file to the variable “RTFfile”

3 Place the PDF Text from the converted RTFfile to the PDF File with the background as created in step 1

Do steps 2 and 3 n times.

Used code:

For step 1:

The background file is placed with the FloatingBox and the Adobe.Pdf.Generator.Pdf.Watermarks object.

For step 2:

I used the Aspose.Words.Document Save method, to save the RTF file as a PDF file.

For step 3:

I used the Aspose.Pdf.Document Object, the Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFragmentAbsorber to find all the phrases in the pdf file. (The constructor is also empty and has no string). To insert all the new Text Fragments I used the textFragmentCollection and TextBuilder to Append the content to the PDF file with background and watermarks. In all the steps I append the new Text phrases to the PDF with the background.

My question is, why are the new inserted text fragments horizontally mirrored without having setting this option. Is this a bug?

Kind regards

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,


Thanks for using our products.

I have tested there scenario where I have used Aspose.Words for .NET 11.10.0 and Aspose.Pdf for .NET 8.1.0 and I am unable to notice any problem. Can you please share the resource files which you are using so that we can test the scenario at our end.

We are sorry for this inconvenience.

Thanks for your response.
But what would happen if you replace your step 2 with this method: "TextFragmentAbsorber Class"
The target is to maintain the font style with text color and so on...
With your solution i only have the text.
When i implement the method with the TextFragmentAbsorber Class and add the textfragments objects to the existing pdf File, i have the right text with the right format but horizontally mirrored ;)

I am using Aspose.Words for .NET 13.5 and Aspose.Pdf .NET 8.1

Thanks for your endeavors.

Kind regards
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,


Can you please share the source PDF files and the code snippet that you are using so that we can test the scenario at our end. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Hi Nayyer,

no problem.
Attached to this post i’ve added a zip file with the content of:

- the RTF File with formatted text
- the background file, where the RTF Content will be placed
- the PDF File with the content of the RTF
- the output File with background and text of the pdf file
- the used code snippeds to solve this problem

now i’m wondering, why the text “StartX” is mirrored vertically :wink:

what am i doing wrong?
please help me :slight_smile:

Kind regards
Sebastian
