Guest lenny Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Hi, I have a 4 page PDF document but would like to rotate one of the pages only (for the printing process) but can't seem to do this in Acrobat Reader. Is there any other free program that will allow this?

Guest lenny Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Re: Rotate single page in a PDF document That only rotates all on the pages in the document. I want to rotate just one but leave the others.

Guest Mick Murphy Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Re: Rotate single page in a PDF document Print the pages out singly. But, the one you want to rotate, do in the printer's page setup. Have it do landscape instead of portrait. -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "lenny" wrote: > That only rotates all on the pages in the document.

Guest lenny Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Re: Rotate single page in a PDF document Good try. The reason behind the problem is that we have to pay per page through the printer and we already have the 4 page (double sided A4 folded) brochure produced as a PDF. One of the sides needs to be rotated before the printing so that we only have to have the paper go through twice, thus saving a lot of money over time.

Guest lenny Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Re: Rotate single page in a PDF document thanks jim. The 4 page brochure is produced elsewhere using a seperate software out of our control. It appears as 4 X A5 pages. We want to rotate one of those pages. "Jim Dell" <James.Dell@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:tNUok.34473$co7.23378@nlpi066.nbdc.sbc.com... > lenny wrote: >> Good try.

You can rotate the page counterclockwise but that is not the same as creating a document that has text running from top to bottom but on its side. I mean the rotation will print out sideways but you will cock your neck to read it. Not like how you read this text. Foxit for instance has a snapshot taker, which after you rotated that page, you could capture, though I would try it with a free screen capture utility. Save all the pages as image files captured from the pdf document pages. Reduce each image (page) by 75% or so and then paste them in order into Word, or maybe make a webpage. You could screen capture the four separate images into one combined image, at this point. There are several free image manipulators. Word has a free pdf converter for dl in which you could save a .doc(x) file consisting of images as a pdf file. If for some reason it matters whether one prints out the page from one program or another. So the solution doc either costs (passworded?) or is labor intensive.

Is there any other free program that will allow this? This really has nothing to do with XP. You need to use a program like Acrobat *Writer*, which is not free, or some other software that can actually create PDF files. I haven't used it but PDF Xchange may do what you need at a much lower price. They do have a demo version. HTH -pk
Guest lenny Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Re: Rotate single page in a PDF document PDF Xchange looks like it is perfect for the job and only $20. I don't mind paying for a program but just thought that Adobe Acrobat Pro was a little expensive to rotate a page. Thanks for the advice.
