How to rotate a PdfTemplate?

Rotate a Pdf template:

You can rotate a PdfTemplate by applying “rotate transform”. The PdfTemplate class contains the PdfGraphics property that you can use to apply transformations with. The following code example explains how the PdfTemplates can be rotated with respect to a coordinate.

C#

// Create the template
PdfTemplate template = new PdfTemplate(100, 50);
// Draw the rectangle
template.Graphics.DrawRectangle(PdfBrushes.BurlyWood, new System.Drawing.RectangleF(0, 0, 100, 50));
// Draw the string
template.Graphics.DrawString("Woot", new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.Helvetica, 10), new PdfSolidBrush(System.Drawing.Color.Black), 5, 5);
// Save the state
PdfGraphicsState state = page.Graphics.Save();
// The TranslateTransform changes the origin of the coordinate system by prepending the specified translation to the transformation matrix of this Graphics.
page.Graphics.TranslateTransform(position.X, position.Y);
// Rotate the page
page.Graphics.RotateTransform(-90);
// Draw the PDF template after applying rotation
page.Graphics.DrawPdfTemplate(template, PointF.Empty);
// Restore the state
page.Graphics.Restore(state);
