Rotate single page in a PDF document
 
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?

In Reader where you have Fit Page, Fit Width, Zoom Out- 100% -Zoom
InTHENrotate clockwise, or rotate ant-clockwise Help

In the toolbar across the top.

That only rotates all on the pages in the document. I want to rotate just
one but leave the others.

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.

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.

Lenny,
Here's how I would do it
1) Generate 4 individual PDF pages with the proper rotation
2) Use PDFedit to combine the 4 PDF files into one. (It will cost you
$19.95 I think for the program.

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.

I don't think there are free programs to take a .pdf file and
modify it and also there is the matter of the prior doc permissions.

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.

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.

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.

Lenny left over a year ago. Perhaps you could review how to use the
features of this software by clicking Help on the menu.
