Upside down text?

Is it possible to make text appear upside down on a web page?
(And by text, I mean actual text not a jpg or gif or swf.)
If so, how is it done?
Thanks,

Is there a fix to upside down text from EMF images

The text from an EMF image is being flipped upside down during the conversion from word to PDF when using the acrobat add-in. I hope you can see from the images. However, when using the acrobat print drivers, the text from the EMF converts just fine. Unfortunately, you can't use the auto create bookmarks feature this way. What is causing the text from EMF files to be flipped upside down? Is this a bug? Has this been reported yet?

That is really strange. It appears you are using OFFICE 2007 or 2010. There are some issues with MS, but this one is weird. Check that you are using the same job settings for both cases. You are using high-quality-print for PDF Maker. It might be worth checking the print with the same job settings. I am not proposing a solution, but some trouble shooting to be done. Also, please indicate the versions of WORD and Acrobat that you are using.
If you have a way to try a different vector format other than EMF, that might give you some idea of where the problem lies.

Scanned pdf - touch up text tool - upside down text

Have a few pdfs created with Acrobat, scanned with a Canon 7080.
When opening the pdfs and using the Touch Up text tool to add text, the text is upside down.
The pdf is oriented correctly.
It does the same on a few other machines so it seems to be something specific the documents.
Most other pdf files are fine.
I have printed to pdf and it fixes the problem (added text is right side up) but I'd like to know how it got messed up to begin with.
Any ideas?
TIA

Sounds like you used the searchable text form of OCR. Thus the text is hidden and that is what is happening. To see the text, you would want to use the ClearScan form of OCR. At this point I don't have any good suggestions. A lot depends on what you are trying to do. In any case, trying to do major editing to a PDF with the text touchup tool is not recommended. Not the name of the tool is touchup, not retype. The method you are using will not make any change to the appearance, only to the hidden text.

Sideways/Upside Down Text

I am looking for a way to display text upside down, and sideways. I am thinking there must be a way to flip an entire component - forinstance could you turn a JPanel 90 degrees?

Live Type iMovie 08 = Upside Down Text

Weird proble. Brand new MacBook, iMovie 08, Live Type, making short little movie and all is well in iMovie as far as viewing. Title created in Live Type is fine, once movie is exported (tried several formats), the Live Type text is flipped, and small in the upper left corner. I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Hmmm.. I removed the plist and for the time being it seems to have worked. Is this a common problem with 10.5.x and iMovie? I have used iMovie for year and never had a problem. What's especially odd is it was occurring in both iLife 08 and iLife HD.
Since this is a new MacBook I have yet polluted my system with my own installs, but one of the installs I have done is the Perian codec. I am wondering if that has anything to do with the issue.

Vertical text in charts appears upside-down in Acrobat pdf

When I copy a chart with vertical text from Tableau into Word and then Save as Adobe PDF, the vertical text appears upside-down.
When I copy a chart with vertical text from Tableau into Word and then Save as PDF using Word's built in PDF creator, the vertical text appears correctly.
This bug occurs in both Adobe Acrobat 11 and Acrobat Pro DC. Can Adobe fix this bug?

Never mind. I solved the problem myself. It turns out I needed to embed the font I used in the text boxes. Once I did that, everything shows up fine.

2nd gen iPod nano has blurry, upside down and backwards text suddenly

I have a second gen iPod nano and after a couple of weeks the screen is blurry upside down and the text is backwards. I have tried resetting it and restoring to factory defaults. Nothing helps. It is fully charged. I followed the troubleshooting instructions from Apple and I didn't find this listed on the forum. Thanks for the help.

I would have to disagree with you. I like the shake and shuffle feature. I would assume people also use ipods for travelling/commuting. Bus rides, trains, flights and so on.
But, to each their own opinions I guess.
Peace!

Text Drawing Upside-Down

Hi,
I am developing an iPhone application. When I draw text using CGContextShowTextAtPoint it draws the text upside down. I am not calling any of the functions to do transformations on the graphics context. Has anyone else seen this and know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Stephen

I think you want to do simething like this
transform = CGAffineTransformMake(
1.0,0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0
CGContextSetTextMatrix(context, transform);
there is nothing wrong with this .. I do not know why its displayed upside down, but it its . so you have to flip it .. I dont know if this is the right solution or if the font should appear up side down . but I have the same problem and i flip it ..

Applet displaying text upside down

I'm writing a minesweeper game (though this is mostly irrelevant), and am at the stage where I am displaying strings in an applet. For some reason, the applet insists on displaying everything UPSIDE DOWN. I have no clue why it would do this, so I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions.
Here is the applet code (will supply more upon request):
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class MineFieldApplet extends Applet
    private static final int FIELD_SIZE = 10;
    private static final int NUM_MINES = 5;
    private final double XMAX = FIELD_SIZE - 1;
    private final double XMIN = 0;
    private final double YMAX = 0;
    private final double YMIN = -(FIELD_SIZE - 1);
    private MineField field;
    private Rectangle box;
    private static final int BOX_X = 0;
    private static final int BOX_Y = 0;
    private static final int BOX_WIDTH = 2;
    private static final int BOX_HEIGHT = 2;
    public MineFieldApplet()
        field = new MineField(FIELD_SIZE, NUM_MINES);
        class FieldListener implements MouseListener
         public void mousePressed(MouseEvent event)
             sweep(FIELD_SIZE - 1 - (int)event.getY(), FIELD_SIZE - 1 - (int)event.getX());
             repaint();
         public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent event) {}
         public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent event) {}
         public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent event) {}
         public void mouseExited(MouseEvent event) {}
        MouseListener listener = new FieldListener();
        addMouseListener(listener);
    public void sweep(int row, int column)
        field.sweep(row, column);
    public void paint(Graphics g)
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
        double xscale = (getWidth() - 1.0) / (XMAX -XMIN);
        double yscale = (getHeight() - 1.0) / (YMIN -YMAX);
        g2.scale(xscale, yscale);
        g2.translate(-XMIN, -YMAX);
        g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(0));
        g2.clearRect(0, 0, (int)XMAX, (int)YMAX);
        g2.setFont(new Font("Monospaced", Font.PLAIN, 1));
        g2.drawString(field.getString(0, 0), 1, 0);
}

If the y scale param is -ive every thing goes upside
down
if your x scale parm is -ive you get a mirror immage
so thats
it.I think I know why your y scale is -ive double
yscale =
(getHeight() - 1.0) / (YMIN -YMAX);
The numerator is obviously -ive since min - max <0Then why didn't it help when I suggested negating xScale and yScale?

Printing upside down

Hi guys. I've got an HP LaserJet 600 M603. It has started printing pages with the data upside down. Instead of picking the page up from the tray after printing, and the start of the page being at the top, it's placing the start of the page and information at the bottom, upside-down.
When I do a factory reset, it will correct the issue for a time, but it then reverts back within an hour or so.
I researched and found some information regarding a firmware upgrade for a different model printer that stated is was the PJL Density command that was causing the data on the page to print upside-down and it was the fix for it.
Not sure if an upgrade to the firmware is what I need, nor do I know how to peform this. Any advice?

More localization woes - upside down question marks.

With some effort, I am able to load variable values from the database based on the language the user has selected, and display those variable values in my column headings and the like (see thread How are session variables used for localization? for that process).
However I can only display ASCII values!!
I can load my translations with the strings "(ENGLISH)" and "(JAPANESE)", and based on whether the user selected English or Japanese, my column headings will in fact show the strings "(ENGLISH)" and "(JAPANESE)".
Great!
Except, when I load my database with what Japanese text, all I get in the UI is upside-down question marks.
I'm using a tool to load this Japanese text into the DB written by someone else who swears(! ) this tool writes data into the DB in a format that is known to have worked for OBIEE Localization. On inspection I find this Japanese is in Unicode.
I have written a Java app that reads the Japanese text back from the DB. When I inspect the String contents in the debugger, the data returned from the ResultSet does look like the Unicode data in the original text file. So the data looks good (?) in the DB.
In the debugger, the character values in the String equate to these hex values:
0x30B5
0x30FC
0x30D3
(8 characters worth, 16 bytes).
But now how do I turn these 0x30B5 Unicode characters into Japanese in the OBIEE UI?
I am testing this in OBIEE with Japanese (Nihongo) selected. Most of OBIEE switches to Japanese just fine. It's not a local display issue. But my variables with Unicode values display as nothing but upside-down question marks. D'oh!!
Thanks for any help!
- OBIEE 10.1.3.4
- Oracle DB 10g
- DB is set to use UTF-8 charset.

Never mind. I think it's working.

Photo orientation upside down since ios8 update

This is odd... since the ios8 update, my 5s has started taking photos upside down. They appear correct in the 'viewfinder', but in my 'recently added' they are inverted. While taking the photo, the top bar (which contains the flash settings, HDR, timer and front/back camera switcher) is also upside down. Is this a known issue since the update? Here's a photo of what I mean - and although it looks like the photo in the thumbnail is right-side up, when it is opened, the photo is upside-down.

Same here with iPhone 6
I've noticed that the first picture I take is OK...it's all the subsequent pics that are upside down. If I leave the camera app then come back to it...same thing....first pic is OK and all the rest are upside down. You can tell before you even take the pic...the flash text (on/off/auto) on the top of the screen will be upside down

How include upside-down clone in 2-up publication?

My project involves two 5.5 X 8.5 books that can print simultaneously on one stack of 8.5 X 11 paper.
To complicate things, one of the books has to be rotated -- so that the book on the right side of the page(s) is in the normal up position, with its spine facing left, but--
the book on the left side of the page(s) is upside down, with its spine facing to the right.
I have attached a sample in pdf format so you can see what I mean.
I need this unusual orientation because after printing on 8.5 X 11 PERFORATED paper the books will be separated and the perfed edge of each book must be at its spine.
I have been able to get what I need three ways.
First I make an indd publication for the outer book
Then I make an indd publication for the inner book
Then I --
1. place one indd file into the other, a page at a time, or
2. convert one of them into a pdf and place that, a page at a time, or
3. go through one of them and copy each column, paste it, then rotate it 180 degrees
Every method that works seems to require working one page at a time.
No, I don't want to print one set of the right-side book and then reverse the pages and run it through the printer again. That would be like cheating. We Adobe users are better than that, are we not?
I have tried, using layers and otherwise, to get both versions of the book into one indd file, with separate text flow links -- but it never comes out right.
Usually, when I try to flow the second book it jumps over the first book, then adds pages to the end to fill in its "side" of the document.
Other than working one page at a time, I have not found any way to combine the two books into one indd file that has both rightside up and upside down books in place.
I could use some help -- soon! -- to manage this problem.
Thanks.

Scott Zanelli has updated the script, adding a few new bells & whistles, including the ability to import .indd files directly.
InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files
If using CS4 I think you might be able to lay out the book at trim size, then import it into a new 8.5x11 document using the script, rotate the spread view (not available in earlier versions of ID) and run the script a second time to get the rotated half.

InDesign CS5 - Printing, only first page is upside down.

Strange problem.
I have a multipage document that has threaded text on pages 2-10 (for example). When I print (duplex or not), the first page (cover page of the manual I writing) is upside down!
It shows correctly in indesign, as well as when I export it to a PDF and print it.
The printer i'm using is a Ricoh Aficio MP C4000 PS.
Our IT group at work says it's an indesign issue! I have had it successfully print on other printers, and I've tried everything I can think of on this printer.
HELP!

In my experience, when an IT department can't figure things out, it's always the application's fault (or "those stinkin' Macs").
I'm pretty sure its a Ricoh thing. I do duplex booklet printing from Acrobat 9 (from a PDF file exported from InDesign CS5) to a Ricoh 5560. I often get the same problem. I find toggling the "Auto Rotate Pages" button in the print dialog on and off will fix it for me. There's no sense to it. If it first prints upside down, click the button and print again and it will work. But the next time you go to print with that setting, it will be upside down again. Click the button off, and it will work. I've given up trying to troubleshoot it.
