There is possibility to rotate for 2 and more degrees only, but some documents have to be rotate ffor1 degree only. Why there is no possibility to rotate it for 1°, and how can I do this?

      Correct answer JR Boulay

      I'd never noticed, but you can't actually rotate by 1° with Acrobat's editing tool.
      However, the solution is simple: apply a 3° rotation and apply a -2° rotation.

        If ut could be so easy! It is not working, if you rotate for 3°, you cannot aplly for -2°, for -1° only.

          I was looking to resolve a similar issue with a scanned file that was slightly rotated after scanning, and when I selected the Edit Pdf tools, it turned the page into an editable page and straightened it all up for me.

            Overstraightened when I used it. Not subtle. Not at all u seful.  More trouble than it's worth. I'm going to try Wondershare PDF Element.

                Rotate any PDF document for 1°.

                  How are you rotating it by 2 degrees?


                  In the past I've developed a (paid-for) tool that allows you to rotate PDF pages by any (full) degrees you'd like. There might be new ways of doing it in Acrobat that I'm not aware of, though, like with the Preflight tool. But using my tool you can certainly rotate a page by 1 degree, if you so wished.
