SAVING ROTATED PDF DOCUMENTS

  • December 18, 2018

Whenever I scan a document and save it as a pdf, it saves it in a Sideways position.  I click on "View" and Rotate it to the right, then Save again.  However, when I open it up, it is back in the Sideways position.  How do I save a pdf in the Upright position?

Thanks.

    With the free Adobe Reader, you cannot save the positioning. The "view" position is for that session only and will reset.

    Either use the full version of Acrobat to rotate the page rather than just the view or, look into your scanning software to find a setting that will scan them the way you want.

    I'm using Adobe standard and it still doesn't save rotated.

    In Acrobat Standard rotate the pages, don't rotate the view.
