Question

Rotate pages with PDF Embed API

It is a requirement to rotate pages withing the PDF Embed API (Viewer SDK). This is no kind of pdf manipulation and fits perfectly to a viewer. The rotation should raise an event so that developers can decide to manipulate the PDF (f.e. update the page rotation within the pdf) by using Document Services API etc.

Does the PDF Embed API Roadmap plan to implement a feature like this?

    I'm trying to clarify the feature request. Are you suggesting that Embed API have the ability to rotate a page for view only without actually modifying the PDF but then also trigger an event so that the PDF could be submitted to the PDF Tools API Rotate service to modify the PDF if the developer had an account and then return the PDF back to Embed API for display?

    Did I get that right?

      That is exactly what i meant.


      Our customers sometimes just want to rotate a page so that they don't have to turn their head. If this is possible and if this raises an event, it is up to the developer to modify the pdf outside of the Embed API, so that another user who opens the previous PDF does not have to rotate the same page again.


      I believe this is a must have feature for the Embed API.
