<pre>This issue is still not fixed. I am now using a workaround in my applications
that doubles the width for landscape pages.
page *p(doc->create_page(i));
/* Workaround for bug <a href="https://github.com/ropensci/pdftools/issues/7">https://github.com/ropensci/pdftools/issues/7</a> */
rectf target(p->page_rect());
if(p->orientation() == page::landscape || p->orientation() ==
page::seascape){
target.set_right(target.right() * 2);
}
/* Extract text */
ustring str = p->text(target, page::physical_layout);
This is pretty ugly but it seems to at least get the text out of it.</pre>
