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
