> Applications that use the TextPosition objects generated by PDFStreamEngine sometimes have to be aware of the text rotation angle so that they can handle text that is not horizontal.  For example, we process many PDFs that have vertically-oriented copyright info that appears either next to an image or at the right/left size of the page; this content doesn't extract correctly because it's vertical rather than horizontal.  Applications that attempt to join TextPosition objects have difficulty because they cannot currently distinguish between vertical and horizontal text.
