Sometimes we receive PDF files that are in the wrong orientation. They may be sideways or even upside down. This most commonly happens with scanned or faxed documents. It is possible to rotate the view of these PDFs with the free Adobe Reader product, but it is not possible to save the PDF with the rotated pages using Adobe Reader — not even with the latest Document Cloud (DC) version (or any earlier version of Reader). To do this with an Adobe product requires the relatively expensive Adobe Acrobat (Standard or Professional). This video Micro Tutorial shows how to rotate the pages of a PDF, and save the rotated document, with excellent, free software called PDF-XChange Editor from Tracker Software Products.
Video Steps
1. Download the Free Version of PDF-XChange Editor
Visit the website for Tracker Software Products:
http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-editor
Tick the radio button for the installer you prefer and then click the DOWNLOAD NOW button.
2. Run the downloaded installer
Run the installer that you downloaded and select the Free Version (unless, of course, you want more features and would like to purchase the Pro Version).
3. Open the document in PDF-XChange Editor
Run PDF-XChange Editor and open the sideways or upside-down document in it.
4. Run the Rotate Pages feature
Click Document menu
Click Rotate Pages
5. Select desired rotation and which pages to rotate
In the Direction drop-down, choose Clockwise 90 degrees or 180 degrees or Counterclockwise 90 degrees.
Select which pages to rotate. Choices are:
All
Selected pages
Current page
Pages (a range with all pages or odd pages only or even pages only)
Orientation (rotate pages of any orientation or portrait pages only or landscape pages only)
6. Save the rotated document
Click the File menu, then Save As, storing the file wherever you want and with whatever name you want.
That's it! You now have a PDF with rotated pages.
