Description

Writes text on current page with formatting commands.
Same as DynaPDF.WriteFTextEx, but with additional rotation in center of box.

See DynaPDF.WriteStyledTextExRotated to convert FileMaker styles to DynaPDF commands.
Changes coordinate system to Bottom-Up since we can't rotate well in Top-Down.
