Rotate multiple pdf/a files using Adobe Acrobat Pro
I have about 100 pdf files that I need to rotate to the left by 90 degrees. I presume many if not all of them are stored in PDF/A mode a.k.a. PDF/Archive mode. I have a workflow to rotate pdf/a files using my copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9 however, the workflow I have is rather cumbersome.
- Open the pdf/a file in Adobe Pro 9
- Go to Advanced -> Preflight -> pdf/a -> Remove pdf/a.
- Save the pdf - so that it is no longer in pdf/a mode.
- Reopen the pdf file.
- Now Adobe will let us rotate the document under Document-> Rotate Page.
- Save the pdf - technically this should be saved as a pdf/a again.
Questions:
- This workflow works for rotating a single pdf/a document. However it is rather cumbersome. Is there a quicker solution?
- I have seen some indication that it is possible to rotate many pdf documents 90 degrees to the left at once. However, will this work for pdf/a documents? In addition is this feature available in Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 9?
Thanks
