1011159 - Text displayed upside-down and backwards in PDF using pdf.js

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect, P3)

Description

[Jaquez]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140314220517

Steps to reproduce:

I have a PDF which renders correctly in various versions of Adobe Reader but which contains text that is displayed upside-down and backwards when viewed using pdf.js.  I have not attached the PDF as it contains some personal information but I would be willing to provide those necessary for the purposes of fixing the bug.

To further clarify, by "upside-down and backwards" I mean that the individual glyphs are rendered upside-down and then the entire text run is rendered as if it were a rtl run even though it should be ltr.

This is the expected result as shown in Adobe Reader.

This is the actual result as shown in pdf.js.  Notice that the first glyph of each text run appears to be located in the correct horizontal position.  From other text in the document, it appears that the actual bottom (visually the top) of the glyph is also in the correct vertical position, leaving the glyph just below where it should be located.

Looks like this one came back, when viewing an annotated PDF, all of the textbox annotations are upside down and backwards in 40.0.03
