Hello lawker,

Welcome to the forum.

You can select the picture with the Edit Content tool and then rotate it from the small green ball that is on top of the selection.
To read more about the Edit Content tool please read the following knowledge base article:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/How do I Edit a PDF With the Editor

If you would like to have a bit more control over the rotation you can try the Transform Selection tool. To use this tool - select your desired object first and then go to the main menu -> Object -> Transform selection.

Regards,
Radi

thanks for the quick reply
I hope it can be an automatic batch action to de-skew, especially when severeal pages needs to be done.
adobe and foxit have this function as scanned document optimization, combine several action to modify a multipage pdf document.
does pdf-xchange or some plugins have this function

Hello lawker,

If you are creating a new document from images/scanner - we also have an option at the time when you will be creating the document so that all the images are automatically de-skewed. Just check the "Image post processing" option when creating a new file.
Or is the feature you mention in those other products available also for already existing documents?

Regards,
Stefan

Hi
Is there, in the current versions of the Editor and the Pdf-Tools a way for automatic straightening of pages in an already scanned pdf file?

Thanks Willy :)
