Straighten a document arbitrarily

Post by Mark_D »

If I want to straighten a document arbitrarily the is from 5 degrees or 10 degrees lets say. How does one do that?

Hello, Mark_D

This is not possible, only 90-degree rotations are allowed due to a few factors. The dimensions of the page, are one aspect, but also the varying content on the page. Some items cannot be rotated, such as form fields, and everything on the page is based on an X/Y coordinate system, which must align with the page. There are a few other cases, but these factors mean that it is not possible to accurately rotate all items at once by increments smaller than 90 degree steps.

Perhaps in the future, if the PDF specification is changed to allow polygonal paper shapes, and rotated coordinate systems we could offer this, but at the moment, I must disappoint.

Kind regards,
