Some information on the page size

   <source lang="java">

import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader; public class MainClass {

 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
   PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("HelloWorldToRead.pdf");
   System.out.println("Page size p1: " + reader.getPageSize(1));
   System.out.println("Rotation p1: " + reader.getPageRotation(1));
   System.out.println("Page size p3: " + reader.getPageSize(3));
   System.out.println("Rotation p3: " + reader.getPageRotation(3));
   System.out.println("Size with rotation p3: " + reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(3));
