Rotating objects in Acrobat

Is there a way to rotate, for example, a rectangle you just drew?  Now I want it at a 45 deg angle.  How does one go about doing that?

    In Acrobat 9 you can use the Touchup Object tool under Advanced Editing - select the page element to rotate and right-click to select a preset angle, or choose "rotate selection" to spin it using your mouse.

    In Acrobat X we have this functionality combined into the Edit Object tool in the Content panel.

    When I try this I can only move the entire pagen not just the rectangle.  any other ideas?

    You need to make sure the object is selected (it will have a blue crosshatched border) - otherwise the context menu you get is referring to the entire page.
