How to dispaly the text in pdf in the top to down form

Hi,

i have to generate the pdf from the servlet and i am using xsl and xml for that. But on the pdf, i have to display the text not in line but from top to dow.

for. eg. JAVA has to be displayed as

J

A

V

A

with 90 degree rotation of each word (as it is not possible to show here )

Kindly suggest the solution.

Thanks,

So what is the Java part of your question?

How about setting the page orientation to landscape instead of portrait?

How would that change the text direction?

yes thaose orientations are already used and the table is formed in the pdf file that is getting generated.But in the pdf file i want att the colum headers as Top- to - Down form that too 90 rotated. For eg. i want to display JAVA as a column header then as per my requirement, it should be displayed as :

J

A

V

A

and each alphabet 90 degree rotated (which is not possible to show here). i think this clarifies the requirement.

Please let me know if have any clue on this.

Thanks,

I think I already gave the "this obviously has nothing to do with Java" hint. Or at least with core Java. No 3rd party product support here, and certainly not XSLT, which is probably the *real* issue.

Writing text from top to bottom with each letter rotated 90 degress is essentially the same as generating the page in landscape orientation but displaying it as portrait, isn't it?

Of course, this requirement cannot be accomplished by simple changing the orientation, but then, this wasn't mentioned in the original post.

Yes, but this is the actual requirement where i need to display the the alphabets in a Top-to-down form with 90 degrees of rotation.

Typed slowly for your benefit:

This has nothing to do with Java.

Ask who ever created the XML-to-PDF XSLT thingie.
