How to Automatically Align Scanned Text Pages in InDesign CS5

[Aniello38386351nidx]

I wanted to kindly ask.
 I need to create a photo book that reproduces book pages (text only) (scanned)
and since they are scanned manually they all have a different inclination from each other, 
there is a system on indesign that allows you to do this automatically for all the pages of the book 
that I need to create. Thanks I just switched to indesign cs 5 today and can't find anything. Thank you

Hi @Aniello38386351nidx:

Let's start with this note: InDesign CS5 was released in 2010 so most of us haven't seen it/used it in years. Congratulations on getting it running on a modern operating system, but note that you may experience wonkiness that we can't fix. 

As for the issue at hand, it looks to me like the pages weren't scanned straight—that's where the problem is coming from. No version of InDesign—including current versions—can straighten this out automatically.

Acrobat does have this feature: https://www.pdfgear.com/pdf-editor-reader/straighten-a-scanned-pdf.htm#:~:text=Adobe%20Acrobat%20Pro... Or you can rescan the pages, and take the time to line them up on the scanner bed.

Most good scanning utilities also have automatic straighten, as well as adjustable 'cleanup' of gray areas, smudging, auto-crop etc. But yes, anything to be based on scanned pages needs to start with page scans that are as good as possible, not count on publication and layout sofware to fix things up.
