Page exclusions

[jayalakshmijayant]

Hello, First of all, thanks for this utility. I am slightly confused as to how to get the coordinates for the exclusions. I read the help comments in that class, looks like something is off.

• @param page Page number starting with 1
• @param x1 x-coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle
• @param y1 y-coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle
• @param x2 x-coordinate of the lower right corner of the rectangle
• @param y2 y-coordinate of the lower right corner of the rectangle Is this correct ? This actually only takes into account the upper left and lower right of the rectangular block, but upper right and lower left are not considered. I tried with so many combination, and ran into issues. Could someone please help me out here. Thank you !

Exclusions are always specified as rectangles. A rectangle is fully specified by providing two points in a coordinate systems. The upper left point of the rectangle and the lower right point of the rectangle. When you specify those two points, you can draw a rectangular shape with horizontal and vertical lines. In the following picture the two stars are the points that are specified. The plus signs don't need to be specified.

Example: x1 = 20 y1 = 30 x2 = 100 y2 = 150 draws four lines: 20, 30 => 100, 30 20, 30 => 20, 150 100, 30 => 100, 150 20, 150 => 100, 150

Thank you so much for explaining this ! I was using "pt" as unit of measurement in PDF and trying to use the API instead of .conf file. Once I corrected it, I got the correct results.
