How to permanently rotate pdf 90 deg?

Whenever I open a certain pdf doc it is shown clockwise rotated by 90 deg.
Ok I can de-rotate it by clicking the appropriate menu in Adobe Reader.
But is there a way to save this pdf so that it is automatically shown correctly at next opening WITHOUT having to explicitely rotate it through AR menues?
If yes: How?

Using AP, there are two methods of rotating pages. Think of one method as a view rotation and the other as a total file rotation. You want to go after the file rotation.
Problem. Most commonly used is the view rotation method (not permanent). Generally, these are menu buttons or perhaps you are using Ctrl+Shift+Plus/Minus to rotate left or right. Don't use this. Following a view rotation, notice your save icon is grayed out and if you save as..., there is no change.
Solution. Open your file that you want rotated (even if it is 1000 pages all in the wrong direction). Go to Document/Rotate Pages... or use Ctrl+Shift+R and this opens your rotation menu. You have several rotation options to rotate single pages, all pages, or a selection of pages. Choose what you need and select OK to proceed. Now you have two options; 1. You will notice your save icon is no longer grayed out so you can permanenly save the file, 2. You will be able to save as... a new file, should you want to keep the original in tact. Both options permanenly save your chosen rotation(s). This has been built into to software for quite some time but is often overlooked - and rightly so as its not immediately evident.
No cumbersome third-party software needed to resolve (or learn).
No printer driver to fumble with.

How do you rotate pdf's

is it possible to rotate PDF 's? if so how

The non-rotation thing is hideously annoying, as well as unproductive as all get out. My work-around is:
1) open the desired document in Adobe Reader.
2) Orient the document as needed to see it best, i.e. portrait or landscape.
3) Lock the screen (you can do this in Settings --> General --> "Use Side Switch to:" Lock Rotation.
You can always unlock the rotation when you're done reading. It's a pain to have do this, and I wish Adobe would fix the problem. Rotation of a .pdf document is a pretty basic necessity.

How do I rotate pdf in Adobe Touch Windows 8?

There used to be a clockwise/counterclockwise option for pdfs in adobe reader...

Adobe Reader that you have used in the past is the desktop version. It is a mature product with a rich set of features including page rotation.
Adobe Reader Touch is a relatively new Windows Store app with "Modern" or "Metro" style UI that is specifically designed for Windows 8/8.1/RT. But it is a lightweight version and has less features than the desktop version. Page rotation is one of the "missing" features in Adobe Reader Touch. The Adobe Reader Touch team is trying to add more features based on customer feedback and the usage data collected from other platforms (e.g. Adobe Reader for iOS and Android).
If your operating system is Windows 8 or 8.1, you can install and run the desktop version: Adobe Reader XI. However, Adobe Reader XI is not compatible with Windows RT or RT 8.1.
Note that both Adobe Reader Touch and Adobe Reader XI can coexist on the same Windows 8/8.1 system. You can switch between the two depending on your preferences for different types of PDF documents.

How do I rotate a PDF document ? It is upside down

If you want, you could try locking the orientation on your device (double tapping the Home button, and selecting the lock orientation button), and rotating your screen to read it.
Other than that, you can't rotate a PDF. You are going to need to go to a desktop and do it there. A program like Acrobat can help you.

How do I rotate a PDF that I dropped into a Pages document?

I got a PDF off the internet that is just what I need. But it is orientated incorrectly. So, how do I rotate it in my Pages document?
OR, if this is not possible, how can I rotate individual lines of text within my Pages document so that the correspond with the PDF?
Can I do this simply by using the Pages toolbar? I honestly don't know that I am capable of downloading a program off the internet, as I have tried this before for other things and the process has always gone +very awry+. Any SIMPLE solutions would be appreciated, as I am very challenged when it comes to using computers.
Thank you

Hi Tom,
Some late comments that may help.
I went to the link in your post and opened the pdf file in Safari. Judging by the icons for the available controls, Safari was using the Adobe Reader plug in, which does will display thumbnails of the original pages, but will not allow you to select or copy a single page.
I went File > Save as, and saved the pdf file to the desktop, then opened the file using Preview (control click or right click the file icon and choose Open with > Preview.
Preview displays the page thumbnails by default, allows you to select a single page by clicking its thumbnail, and allows you to Copy that selected page.
Which is what I then did.
I scrolled to Page 16, clicked on the thumbnail to select it, pressed command-C to copy.
I then went to Pages, where I had already created a new document from one of the Blank word processor templates.
I clicked in the document, then pressed command-V to paste the copied page into the document. It pasted (as expected) as an Inline object, so I went to the Format bar (above the page) and clicked Floating to change the pasted (and still selected) drawing to a Floating object.
Then I opened the Inspector and chose the Metrics Inspector (ruler icon).
At the bottom of the Inspector window, I changed the 0 in the Rotate Angle box to -90, then pressed tab to effect the change.
In the Size section, I checked that the Constrain Proportions box was checked, then used the stepper controls on one of the Size boxes to resize the drawing to fit the width of the page. As the proportions were constrained, this also adjusted the height of the drawing. While adjusting the size, I also used the steppers of the X and Y position boxes to position the drawing where I wanted it.
Finally, to ensure that text did not slip under (or over the face of) the drawing, I switched to the Wrap inspector and selected one of the Wrap buttons.
The keys here are to make sure the object remains selected through the whole process (or is re-selected if it becomes unselected), and to make sure you are working with a Floating object (the drawing) rather than an Inline object.
Regards,
Barry

How can I get a downloaded document to open so I can permanently rotate it?

I get the following message when attempting to open a document in Adobe XI, "There was an error opening this document, access denied". How can I open the selected document and permanently rotate it 180 degrees?

For the first problem (not opening) try this.
- Open Adobe Reader XI
- Go to Edit - Preferences - General section
- Uncheck the option called "Enable Protected Mode at Startup"
- Save the changes, close Adobe Reader and it should be fixed.
As far as rotating, you can only rotate the view for the current session with Reader. It will not be saved once the document is closed.

How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) for Windows 8 is a relatively new product, which was introduced in December 2012. Adobe Reader XI, X, or older is a completely separate product - a traditional desktop app with classic UI. The desktop version has been available in the market for 20 years (!!) and it does not share any common components with Adobe Reader Touch.
Adobe Reader Touch does not support page (view) rotation yet.
For Windows 8, you can download and install Adobe Reader XI from the link below.

For Windows RT, you can use Microsoft Reader (built-in PDF viewer), instead.

How to rotate PDF with the automator?

Hello everybody!
I'd like to create a WorkFlow to rotate all the selected PDFs (one page PDF) of 90º.
In the PDFs section of the Automator there isn't anything like that.
Somebody can help me how to do it?
Thks a lot!

Hello
You may use something like the following script, which will rotate pdf files on desktop by 90° CW (clock-wise) and save the rotated pdfs in ~/desktop/out directory with name with _RC90 appended; e.g. Given original name = abc.pdf, rotated pdf = abc_RC90.pdf. The ouput directory, if specified, must be present in advance. If ouput directory is not specified, rotated file is save in the same directory as the original resides in. Specify -90 or 270 to rotate 90° CCW (counter-clock-wise).
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/desktop || exit
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby -w <<'EOF' - 90 *.pdf out
#      ARGV = angle pdf [pdf ...] [output_directory]
#      * angle is measured in clock-wise and must be one of [-270, -180, -90, 90, 180, 270]
require 'osx/cocoa'
OSX.require_framework 'PDFKit'
include OSX
def usage
     raise ArgumentError, "Usage: #{File.basename($0)} angle pdf [pdf ...] [output_directory]"
end
usage unless ARGV.length > 1
outdir = File.directory?(ARGV.last) ? ARGV.pop : nil
usage unless ARGV.length > 1
rota = (ARGV.shift.to_i + 360) % 360
usage unless [90, 180, 270].include? rota
ARGV.select { |f| File.file?(f) }.each do |f|
     url = NSURL.fileURLWithPath(f)
     doc = PDFDocument.alloc.initWithURL(url)
     unless doc
          $stderr.puts "Not a pdf file: %s" % [File.expand_path(f)]
          next
     end
     (0 .. (doc.pageCount - 1)).each { |i| doc.pageAtIndex(i).setRotation(rota) }
     bname = File.basename(f).sub(/\.pdf$/i, '')
     odir = outdir ? outdir : File.dirname(f)
     doc.writeToFile("#{odir}/#{bname}_RC#{rota}.pdf")
end

In order to make this as Automator workflow, use Run Shell Script action as follows.
shell = /bin/bash
pass input = as argument
code = as follows:

#      ARGV = angle pdf [pdf ...] [output_directory]
#      * angle is measured in clock-wise and must be one of [-270, -180, -90, 90, 180, 270]
require 'osx/cocoa'
OSX.require_framework 'PDFKit'

def usage
     raise ArgumentError, "Usage: #{File.basename($0)} angle pdf [pdf ...] [output_directory]"
end
usage unless ARGV.length > 1
outdir = File.directory?(ARGV.last) ? ARGV.pop : nil
usage unless ARGV.length > 1
rota = (ARGV.shift.to_i + 360) % 360
usage unless [90, 180, 270].include? rota
ARGV.select { |f| File.file?(f) }.each do |f|
     url = NSURL.fileURLWithPath(f)
     doc = PDFDocument.alloc.initWithURL(url)
     unless doc
          $stderr.puts "Not a pdf file: %s" % [File.expand_path(f)]
          next
     end
     (0 .. (doc.pageCount - 1)).each { |i| doc.pageAtIndex(i).setRotation(rota) }
     bname = File.basename(f).sub(/\.pdf$/i, '')
     odir = outdir ? outdir : File.dirname(f)
     doc.writeToFile("#{odir}/#{bname}_RC#{rota}.pdf")
end
EOF
An Automator service will look something like this.
Tested under 10.6.8.
Good luck,

How make Swing app Rotated 90 Deg? i.e. On its side

I want to make my entire swing app (including buttons, JTextArea, etc) rotated 90 deg to the right. I know this sounds weird, but I want to do it for a PDA. I can use swing on a PDA (check on google for swing personal java) and I want to be able to have the screen the long width.
Does anyone know how I can do this?

I can suggest some solution but it has not been proved to work. So just read it and make your own component carefully.
First, subclass the Swing-widget to be rotated and name it RButton or whatever.
Then, draw the content on a new BufferedImage instance and use AffineTransform to draw this BufferedImage onto the original Graphics context. Here is the example code.public class RButton extends javax.swing.JButton {
public void paintComponent( Graphics g ) {
    // 1. create a new BufferedImage to draw on.
    BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage( this.getWidth(), this.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB );
    // 2. draw the content (using JButton's paintComponent())
    super.paintComponent( bi.getGraphics() );
    // 3. save the old transformation matrix
    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
    AffineTransform oldTransform = g2.getTransform();
    // 4. set the rotation transformation matrix
    g2.setTransform( AffineTransform.getRotateInstance( Math.toRadians( /*degree*/ ) ) );
    // 5. draw the BufferedImage on 'g'
    g2.drawImage( bi, 0, 0, this );
    // 6. reset the old transformation matrix
    g2.setTransform( oldTransform );
}And this suggestion will just rotate the drawn content. You have to resize and rearrange those Rxxx components you've created to fit with the rotated graphics.

How do you rotate the PDF you created in Acrobat but keep everything on the page from rotating?

How do you rotate the PDF you created in Acrobat but keep everything on the page from rotating with it?
I made a very complex form, but have decided it would be best to have it as a portrait instead of landscape.
Of course, when I rotate it, everything on the form is turned sideways.

Assuming that you created the form fields in Acrobat and those were just imposed on top of a document that you created from another application you might try these steps:
1. Create a new PDF in landscape from the original document.
2. Copy the form fields from the previous document to the new document.
3. Move the fields to the proper locations.
At least I think this has a chance of working. You might give it a try on a single page or such.
