Description

Overview: Created a PDF form through Adobe PDF Creation tool. Rotate field(90°) to fit design of PDF. Have PDFBox load the PDF form get Acroform set the form fields and have acroform apply flattening..

Expectation: When flattening is applied. Rotated(90°) fields value would print out rotated and normal size.

Issue: When flattening is applied. Rotated(90°) fields values seemed squished or flattened.

Also one thing that might not have been clear .. This issue didn't seem to exist in version 2.0.16 (or prior that I know of)
