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.

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.



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.
