Screenshot from Rotated Adobe Reader: Scaling and rotation

Post by Peter2 »

Seem to be a problem of Adobe ...

- Take Adobe Reader 9
- open a PDF, made by a scanner
- rotate the page +90 degree
- select an area and take a partial screenshot with "Ctrl+c"
- insert the clipboard to XnView (or to MS Word)

Result
- The orientation of the picture is correct.
- But the scaling is wrong: height and width are swapped, the picture is distorted.

Who can confirm?

Hmm, I cannot confirm. Perhaps the PDF document or your monitor has special DPI settings for X/Y, but I'm just guessing, here.

Could you please uncheck setting in Tools > Options | General > Operations | Adjust Zoom if X/Y DPI are different? What happens when performing the same steps as before?

Does the problem also occur on other computers? Which program has created the PDF (Acrobat Reader displays the creator in the properties of the PDF document)? Could you perhaps provide your PDF?
