Question

When I convert PDF to word I cannot rotate it to edit. Changing portrait to landscape does not rotate imported document.

    I apologize for any confusion. If you are converting a PDF to Word and experiencing difficulties rotating the imported document for editing, it may be a limitation of the conversion process. Not all converters retain the exact formatting and layout, including page orientation. however, I uploaded many converted PDFs on my calculator website gwa-calculator.com

    I already solved this issue and the converter I used was converting from within Acrobat.
    Thank you

    You are asking me 8 months later? hahaha Let me see if I can remember and will post it!


    Hi All Apps35497298ade9,

     

    Thank you for reaching out.

     

    If you are trying to rotate the PDF pages or the PDF, you may use the rotate option under the organize pages tool in Acrobat. For more information, refer to the following help document: https://adobe.ly/3VPmZkY

     

    Let us know if you are trying something else.

     

    Thanks,

    Meenakshi

    I had trouble locating how to rotate the pdf once imported into Word as well but figured it out. Go to the Page Layout Tab. Under the "Arrange" section on the far right of the header, you'll see the Rotate option.

    Hi barbarar,

    Are you rotating the page in Word after converting it? What version of Word are you using, and how are you rotating it?

    Best,

    It doesn't seem to matter if I rotate it before I export it--when it pops

    up in work it is in portrait even though the original document is in

    landscape. If I try to change it to landscape in Word, it makes the page

    wider, leaves the document as is and makes a second page for the overflow.

    It is a table. I am trying to convert it so I can type in the information

    rather than having to hand-print it.
