Re: overlay is rotated
Alexander,
I'm copying the Dev group as someone in that group probably has some ideas.
My ideas ... would be that the transformation matrix which we consider in
pdfbox.pdfviewer.PageDrawer routines (such as processTextPosition, approx
line 179) is not being considered in the case of an Overlay. I'm not sure
that's the right answer ... but that's where I'd start looking.

could you file an issue on JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX and attach the files there as the user mailing list seems to remove them.

Here is an example file that I'd like to remove the rotation from...
I removed the rotation using pdPage.setRotate(0), but then the chart was on its side. (ie portrait -> landscape)

Thanks Daniel,
You know. I think I can solve my problem if I could create a PDF that looked the same as the original but w/o the rotation. Do you have any tips on the best way to accomplish that?
I saw I could "print" the page. Perhaps, I could print it to another PDF...I was wondering if that would cause it to be rasterized at that point though..
