Re: Determining a PDF's orientation

Have you tried the PDF suite to determine the page orientation?

use PDF::Parse;
use Data::Dumper;

my $pdf->TargetFile($filename);
$pdf->LoadPageInfo;

my @size = $pdf->PageSize;
my $rotation = $pdf->PageRotation;

print Dumper(\@size);
print Dumper($rotation);

Unfortunately, whenever I attempt to use PDF, I get the error "Bad object reference '>'", (an error which I have never seen before, anywhere.) As with everything else involving PDFs, there aren't any useful docs for solving this problem. It seems to me the entire purpose of this hell-spawned document format is for pissing off programmers. Oh well. I appreciate the help, though.	[reply]
