Is there a way to rotate "Text Box"?
I tried to copy a Text Box from the other document, when I pasted it into another document, it came out in the wrong orientation (not the original orientation from the other document, why?)

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 7.0, Windows

You pasting the text box into a space with a different page rotation than the source page.

You have to use the undocumented Matrix2D object in the Annots.js file, to chnge the quads to the correct orientation. There is an example in the Acrobat JS API Reference in the "Link" object and "Automating placement of annotations - Converting coordinates in Acrobat" by Thom Parker, http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/10/auto_placement_annotations/ .

The orientation of the source is correct, but the orientation is wrong after I paste the test box from the source.

Just can't imagine the text box can't be rotated in a easier manner.
