Rotate page before inserting in multi-up PDF

Hello,

We need to multi-up some pdf's, all same format (A6) but some landscape and some portrait.
Multi-up is 2 by 2 on A4.
on screen the rotate works, but when inserting in the multi-up it not rotated.
This is our code:
     Dim lstPdfs As New List(Of String)
        lstPdfs.Add("C:\test\in\Pdf1.pdf")
        lstPdfs.Add("C:\test\in\2pagesPDF.pdf")
        lstPdfs.Add("C:\test\in\Pdf2.pdf")
        lstPdfs.Add("C:\test\in\Pdf3.pdf")
        lstPdfs.Add("C:\test\in\Pdf4.pdf")
        lstPdfs.Add("C:\test\in\Pdf5.pdf")
        lstPdfs.Add("C:\test\in\2pagesPDF.pdf")
        lstPdfs.Add("C:\test\in\Pdf6.pdf")
        Dim OutDocument As PdfDocument = New PdfDocument()
        OutDocument.PageSettings.Orientation = PdfPageOrientation.Portrait
        OutDocument.PageSettings.Margins.All = 0
        OutDocument.PageSettings.Size = PdfPageSize.A4
        Dim page As PdfPage = OutDocument.Pages.Add()
        Dim No_of_columns_per_Row As Int16 = 2
        Dim No_of_Rows_per_Page As Int16 = 2
        Dim TemplateWidth As Double = Convert.ToDouble(OutDocument.Pages(0).Size.Width / No_of_columns_per_Row)
        Dim TemplateHeight As Double = Convert.ToDouble(OutDocument.Pages(0).Size.Height / No_of_Rows_per_Page)
        Dim TemplateX As Double = 0
        Dim TemplateY As Double = 0
        Dim template As PdfTemplate = Nothing
        Dim intInsertedPages As Integer = 0
        For i As Int16 = 0 To lstPdfs.Count - 1
            Dim ldoc As PdfLoadedDocument = New PdfLoadedDocument(lstPdfs(i))
            For j As Int16 = 0 To ldoc.Pages.Count - 1
                If intInsertedPages >= No_of_columns_per_Row AndAlso intInsertedPages Mod No_of_columns_per_Row = 0 Then
                    If intInsertedPages Mod 4 <> 0 Then
                        TemplateY += TemplateHeight
                    End If
                    TemplateX = 0
                End If
                Dim LoadedPage As PdfPageBase = ldoc.Pages(j)
                If LoadedPage.Size.Width > LoadedPage.Size.Height Then
                    'ROTATE PAGE
                    'THIS IS NOT WORKING:
                    LoadedPage.Rotation = PdfPageRotateAngle.RotateAngle270
                    'if we save the document, page is rotated in original document 'ldoc' but this page is not rotated in 'OutDocument'
                    'ldoc.Save()
                End If
                template = LoadedPage.CreateTemplate()
                page.Graphics.DrawPdfTemplate(template, New PointF(TemplateX, TemplateY), New SizeF(TemplateWidth, TemplateHeight))
                TemplateX += TemplateWidth
                If intInsertedPages Mod 4 = 3 AndAlso (i < lstPdfs.Count - 1 Or j < ldoc.Pages.Count - 1) Then
                    page = OutDocument.Pages.Add()
                    TemplateX = 0
                    TemplateY = 0
                End If
                intInsertedPages += 1
            Next
            ldoc.Close(True)
        Next
        OutDocument.Save("C:\test\out.pdf")
        Process.Start("C:\test\out.pdf")

Wim

Hello,

Thanks for the reply but it's not the solution we need. 
We need to add 4 pages A6 on one A4 page, the A6 pages can be a landscape or portrait page. 
See attachment for output sample.

Wim

Hello,

This solution is not working, the rotated pages are scaled disproportional.

Wim

Hello,

The rotated pdf in your samples is scaled disproportional.
The expected output is that the rotated pdf keeps his original size.
See files in attach.

Wim
