asked on

PDF page sideways

I need someone to help me please in showing me how do I save a page in Foxit PDF reader? I received 2 pages I opened the PDF with Foxit reader free version. The first page was straight . The second page was not. I had to rotate the view to the left in order for me fill it out. I saved it with different name and put it on desktop. When I opened it it was still rotated to the left. How do I fix this? Also when I insert the signature I can see it on the signature line but when I click X to exit I am asked do I want to apply all signatures which I already had applied in the field. Why am I being asked again?

Thank you

I have a lot of PDF readers and editors installed, unfortunately, Foxit isn't one of them. I would suggest trying one thing though.. Eliminate a problem with the reader itself first.

Right Click the PDF file you received and saved to your Hard Disk in File Explorer, then select Open with and you'll get a list of PDF capable readers that are installed on your system. Try opening the file in a different reader - if Foxit is all that's there, you should have an option to select Microsoft Edge to open the file as well. Select that.

Is the page still rotated incorrectly if viewed in there?

As for saving the modified PDF, not sure you can do that with the free Foxit Reader. You may need to upgrade to the editor version of the Reader (paid) or try other free software which allows you to modify PDF content. Even then, if the file is protected against editing, you may still be out of luck.

You may also be able to do what you need to in Microsoft Word.  Right click the document and select Word from the list of programs to open it with.

I'm not a Foxit user either, but their manual shows both a left and right rotate button in about the middle of the main toolbar.  I guess its possible, they were  removed, if the toolbar was customized.    You might need to customize your toolbar to get them back.  Here are the instructions (see page 6 ...

Thank you everyone. I am able to rotate that page but saving it and maintaining it that was the problem. I will use Joe's suggestion. I did open it with word but there was no rotation options in word.

I go to home-PDF sign-then I select my signature and drag it to the signature line and release.

In Microsoft Word, right click on the page and select Size and Position.  Click on the Size tab and change the Rotation setting.
