I am looking for the manual de-skew option "draw a line" and rotate the page, I didn't see it in the features.
I did find an old post from 2016 which requests this feature: "De-skewing SOLVED" - the post is tagged as "SOLVED"?
Auto de-skew is a fine feature for freshly scanned images, but a manual method is a valid option for fine tuning auto de-skewed images, or aligning pages in existing documents.
Am I missing the command for this?
Has it not been added as a feature yet..?

Re: Manual Deskew (de-skew)
Hi,
I suppose you mean this thread:
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=23762
Just an idea (in PDF-XChange Editor):
Instead of drawing a "Line", you can draw something similar to a line, by using the "Rectangle" tool.
A rectangle gives you the advantage that you can rotate it to the desired angle that corresponds to your text/image.
After this, you can simply read the current "Rotation"-value in the properties pane of the rectangle (View > Panes > Properties ¨Pane).
Now, by selecting the page in the Content pane (View > Panes > Content), right-click and then Arrange > Transform, you can apply this rotation-value to the page.
Does this help for you?

Thanks for the tip Willy.
If we understand the case correctly this should help.

I think you mean this: Unfortunately, this is quite time consuming. except that there is no "Specify angle manually" option in the "Direction" field of the "Rotate Pages" window.Willy Van Nuffel wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 6:31 amJust an idea (in PDF-XChange Editor): Instead of drawing a "Line", you can draw something similar to a line, by using the "Rectangle" tool.

Re: Manual Deskew (de-skew)
Hello Jensen Head,
Yes - drawing a rectangle and then getting it rotated at the right angle is indeed time consuming. Drawing a two point line should be much faster, but either option will probably be slower than the Automated Deskew, which you seem to be testing out today
Of course - there might be, hopefully rare, cases where the automated Deskew does not work, and in those cases a manual option might be necessary.
Kind regards,
Stefan
