Rotation fixes pages that were fed into a scanner the wrong way round. The important part is that the rotation is written into the file, so it stays fixed for everyone who opens it rather than only in your own viewer.
Most PDF readers rotate only your view. This writes the rotation into the file, so it stays fixed for everyone.
When a double-sided stack is fed in one way, every second page can be upside down. Rotate those pages specifically rather than the whole file.
Nothing is re-encoded, so image quality and any text layer are unaffected.
Mixed portrait and landscape documents usually need two passes with different page ranges.
Rotation fixes orientation only. If pages are slightly skewed rather than turned ninety degrees, that is a scanning problem better handled by rescanning or by Adjust Colours / Contrast to improve legibility. If the page is the wrong way round and also the wrong order, PDF Multi Tool handles both in one pass.
Most readers rotate only the on-screen view. This tool writes the rotation into the file itself, so it persists wherever the file is opened.
Yes. Choose which pages the rotation applies to instead of applying it to the whole document.
No. Rotation changes how each page is oriented, not the image data itself.
You rotated the view in a reader rather than the file. This tool changes the file itself.
No. It is a lossless change.
Yes. Rotate 180 degrees, applied to the affected pages only.
These tools handle one document at a time. When the job is thousands of files, Greenbooks handles document digitization as a managed service, including bulk scanning, OCR and metadata capture, with the output loaded into DocuVenta DMS. Talk to us about volume work.
