Created attachment 77272 [details] fle containing text 90° in landscape PDF In a PDF file with drawings the text oriented 90° is inverted ex 35,65 becomes 56,53 This is very critical as these dimensions are used in production I include the PDF Afscherming.pdf so you can open it in OO3
Please attach the original file too, which you have used to produce the pdf-file. Please note the exact version do you use. You find this information in Help -> About.
Created attachment 77274 [details] shows in a screenshot both the pDF and when it is opened in OO3
Ah, you are using the pdf import extension. I can confirm the error with AOO r1240836 and the pdf import extension version 1.0.4. Not 90° is wrong, but exactly 180° is wrong. If you use 180.005° or 179,99° the characters remain correct. The text is not imported as single textbox in case of rotation, but each character gets its own textbox, which might be an error too or a missing feature. Because the text is correct, when you look the exported file in Acrobat Reader, indeed the import is wrong; the export is correct. You can reproduce the error from scratch: Insert a text in Draw, rotate it with 180° and export the file to pdf. Open the pdf in Draw (needs the extension) and notice the characters are not rotated.
