How do I rotate tables in Pages 2014 on Yosemite?

Hi! I've been working on my thesis on Pages 09 and it worked really great! I bought a new MacBook Pro with Retina and switched to the new iWork... There are a few features that I used in Pages 09 that now are missing like 'two up' view and the possibility to rotate tables. Does anyone know how can one rotate a table to 90 degrees in the new version of Pages?
Thanks!

Have you updated to iWork '09 v4.3?

How do I rotate a single page in a multi-page document?

I recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X version 10.0.0. Where is the option to rotate a single page in a multi-page document?
Also, I often receive faxes as PDF's that are upside down. How do I rotate a page so that it remains rotated the next time that I open it?
Thanks.

It works (it saves the rotation) when I use the rotation method under the tools menu. Thanks.
Yes.
Tools > Pages > Rotate permanently rotates the pages (if you save the file afterward of course) and View>Rotate view only changes the view for the current session.

If you are having trouble selecting the shape, try holding down the command key and clicking on its edge so you see the corner selection boxes, then hit the Delete key.

Adobe Reader 11.0.0.7 How do I rotate single page in a multiple page PDF file?

When I try rotating the page, it would rotate all of the pages in Adobe Reader. How can I rotate a single page out of the multiple page PDF file?

You can only rotate the entire document with the free Reader. And that only lasts for the current session. It is not permanent.

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

In pages, how can I rotate text ?

In pages, how can I rotate text ?

The text needs to be in a TextBox which you can create from the ToolBar and the that can be rotated by control clicking near the top right corner of TextBox and dragging it around.
Alternatively click on the TextBox > Inspector > Metric > Rotate: enter value.

How can I rotate a pattern within a shape?

How can I rotate a pattern within a shape?

To the left of the 1 key, right below the esc key. Has the ~ and ` on it.
That key has ° and ¨ on it on my keyboard and it doesn't work.
But I found it by holding down the < key (to the left of Z).
So now I can rotate etc. patterns manually after about 3 decades of doing it numerically through the dialogue :-)
You live and learn.
Thanks Scott,
Steve.
(Maybe this helps other people with funny keyboards. What say Jacob and Monika? Or maybe theirs are even funnier.)

How can I rotate the page of a document by a specific angle

Hi,
I want to know how I can rotate the page by a specific angle, (eg: like 10 degrees).
I tried PDPageSetRotate but it can change only in the multiple of 90, due to PDRotate.

You can have the image optimization and OCR operations performed programmatically. Look at at the AVCommand APIs and associated sample code.
Deskew is an image processing operation that simply requires the bits. You can do that by simply getting the image bits and applying the algorithm(s).
