Question
Rotating PDF Systematically
Using an activity, we need to fetch a document via URL using GetEFormFromURL and rotate said document by 90 degrees to change it from Landscape to Portrait. Is there a way to do this using an activity or function?
There is no ootb function to do this from another pdf. The orientation can be set only when you generate a brand new pdf from a html.
However you can achieve this using apache pdfbox library which is already available in pega.
The code should be similar to this
File file = new File("input.pdf"); PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(file); // Iterate through each page and change the orientation to portrait for (PDPage page : document.getPages()) { // Rotate the page to portrait (90 degrees clockwise) page.setRotation(90); }
// Save the modified document document.save("output.pdf"); document.close()
@SrijitaBThank you so much for your response. I should perhaps be more specific. The file I have is actually an Eform, not a PDF file attached to a case. I am obtaining this Eform by going to a URL location where the file resides using GetEFormFromURL. After that activity is called, I just have the eForm page populated and the eform is contained in eFormPage.pyEForm, that is all. See below.
