How can I rotate a TEXT BOX in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

Issue still to this day within the erroneaously named Adobe Editor.

I will now be going to Foxit and getting my colleaguies to do the same. In the basic Foxit reader one can rotate the text box by utilising 'select annotation'

NO EDITOR REQUIRED

Very glad I found this thread. I does seem ridiculous that this all powerful software cannot rotate a text field. 

Man they keep asking me every now and then if I would recomend adobe just came across this and usually any program will let you rotate a comment box, at some angle, but to copy a comment from one file to another and have it come it upside down WTF.   Never seen that in a program before.  this was started 4 years ago.  I used to like adobe, for printing drawings ect.  Now it is a hard to use unproductive tool that has things hidden all over the place that makes it hard to find anything pluss they don't fix anything. 

Why is this so difficult to get an answer for?! 

How do you rotate a simple text box on a PDF??? There is nothing that gives you the option. I have a full paid license to Pro and still no option for this. Very aggravating. 

Wow, after reading these comments, I think I'm not alone; I've been thinking there are ways that I don't know, and Adobe is a good software. Folks, I have been using Bluebeam for some time, and it kicks Adobe ass in every aspect, from comment editing tools, tool chest with online library of commonly used shapes to online studio sessions where engineers and drafters can collaborate simutaneously on a pdf at the sametime, and I can go on and on. Sorrt to say but Adobe is a piece of crap compared to Bluebeam, short the stock, Bluebeam need to school these idiots. I'm cancelling my subscription. Seriously Adobe if you are reading this comment please shut down your pdf business. 

Hi,

Sorry for resurecting and old thread, but it is a problem I have had for years and I just hit on a work around.

If you are using Acrobat DC, and the pasted text box is rotated, undo the paste, then use Organise Pages to rotate the target page.

Paste the box back in again and then rotate the page back to the correct orientation.

Silly that you should have to do this, but at least it is one way to work around the problem.

Hope it helps.....

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out. With the help of Acrobat DC's Edit tool, you can rotate an object within the PDF. Rotating a text field is something would not be possible.

Acrobat DC allows rotation for page/s of a file and rotations of an image.

If your document has something rotated 90 or 180 degree, then it would probably be an image. You may check that once again.

To rotate an image, Open PDF>Edit Tool>select the image>rotate

Did this work for you?

Thanks,
