Hope someone can help. I'd like to start by saying I am completely new to Java (never seen it until today), so please excuse my stupidity :)

I am using Lotus Domino (not really relevant but gives context) to pick up an existing PDF, which I'll use as a template, and create a new PDF, which will have some text added.

The PDF "template" file is in landscape.

The code below is code I have taken from an example on a Domino forum. It gets a PDF attachment and puts it into an input stream. i get that bit. It then creates a new document, which is where I'll be putting the imported PDF template content.

The resulting PDF is in landscape, as I want, but the content from the template is in portrait, ie the landscape content rotated, so it's way off the page.

I can make the document portrait too, at which point everything fits, but then I need to rotate the whole thing so I can put some text in.

So I have 2 questions:

either:

1. how can I correctly rotate the initial template contents, so that when I put them into the new document, they are in the correct orientation?
2. how can I place the intial template contents (without rotating) into the portrait document and then rotate the WHOLE thing?

Thanks for any help
