Question

Change single page PDF from landscape to portrait

I received a single page PDF from a laboratory to include in a report.  It is in landscape but I need to include in Portrait.  I don't need to simply rotate it 90 degrees but need to have it proportioned to fit the landscape orientation.  

 

I suppose that I can ask the lab to re-send in portrait format but was hoping there is a simple way to do this myself.

There's no easy way to do something like that in a PDF file, since it's not an editable format. Exporting it to another format (like Word or InDesign), and then creating a new PDF is your best option.

Thanks - that is what I did in this case.

Note: I converted to Word, and manually re-proportioned each element ( 2 tables and one image) - however I'm hoping to find a simpler way to do this than my "brute force" solution since I'm sure to have to do this again in the future.
