Reverse the coordinate system for scripting
in office, we're setting workflow using illustrator coordinate system , coordinates database generate graphics means of (java)scripting. on other hand, processing lots of pdf's, based on same database-driven coordinates.
now, illustrator (cs5.1) using coordinate system (0,0) on top-left , pdf's having 0 @ bottom-left, things getting unnessesarily complex. adobe's intention or ill development?
already numerous people complained coordinate-shift 4th quadrant... why doesn't adobe respond in clear , uniform voice? what's ahead pdf coordinate system? anymore surprises coming up?
see...
