Can you rotate a page so it stays rotated?

Hi,

 

I have to make an eBook from some scans that were scanned sideways. I was able to rotate and view them upright and crop them, but when I try to connect them, they appear sideways. I didn't find instructions in Help. It is possible to rotate pages and save them in a way that they will stay rotated when the file is reopened or when you insert that page beneath another page (which I am to do with 40 pages and a front and back cover)? Thank you!

I just rotated them all, and it worked - Thanks! But the redaction page says: "...the selected content will be permanently removed through black out. Acrobat will apply redactions and create a new file with “_Redacted” appended to the file name, with all marked content covered by black boxes." This looks as if the uglies will be replaced with black boxes, which would be just as bad. I want them to disappear entirely, making a clean white page. Is there a way to highlight these spots, specks, and shadows and delete them?

Thanks again! Shirley


Yes, you can configure the radaction properties so that there is no visible indication left behind. I can't tell you exactly how to do this at the moment, but it's certainly possible with the right configuration.

Yes, Acrobat (and Reader) allows you to rotate the view, which is not saved when the document is saved, and Acrobat allows you to rotate pages, which is saved when you save the document. Here's a link to more information: https://acrobat.adobe.com/us/en/acrobat/how-to/rotate-pdf.html

Thanks for the link! Yes, I am trying to do this in Acrobat, not Reader. It seemed like something that should be possible in a good program like Acrobat, but the only option I saw was Rotate View, which didn't persist when the page was saved. There is a huge amount of information in Acrobat Help that showed up when I searched on "rotate page," and I might have overlooked the part I needed. I will follow the instructions in the link, and if there are still problems, will be back. Thanks again! Shirley
