Hi, 

first thank you for your very good tool/lib.

I got problems extracting the Positioninformation from a PDF which is gernerated
by the HTML2PDF tool in the current version of adobewriter(quess its 9). This
tool in adobe extracts even Textboxes, Comboboxes and RadioButtons.

I got every position from any Annotation-objects by the
methodgetNormalizedRectangle() method, except when its a PDWidgetAnnotation
object i recive always 0.0 as X and Y Positions.

Hi, thanks using jPod!

It seems you found a little inconsistency with the API. "getNormalizedRectangle"
should deliver a rectangle whose width is positive. In addition, the method
in PDWidgetAnnotation does take into account the rotation (which is available
with widgets only), but does it by skipping the position (which is wrong..).
We will fix that.

You can workaround by falling back simply to "getRectangle", returning the rectangle
as defined in the annotation. You can still normalize it using
"getRectangle().copy().normalize()" if you need to assert extension in positive
coordinate direction.
