My PDF document is rotated. How do I fix that?

ANSWER: Some applications will create PDFs that are rotated. You can remove the rotation by creating a new PDF with the Distiller. Take the following steps:

  • Open your file in Acrobat
  • Choose File > Save As from the Acrobat menu
  • Give the file a new name (do not overwrite the original file)
  • Under Save As Type, choose PostScript File (*.ps)
  • Open Acrobat Distiller
  • Go to Settings > Edit Adobe PDF Settings > set Default Page size to PDF page size and Auto-rotate Pages to off.
  • Browse for this file or go to the directory where the file exists and double click on the file - this will open and run the Distiller
  • A new PDF file will be created with the new name you gave the PostScript file.

You must have Acrobat Standard or Professional installed on your computer to use the Distiller that is provided with Acrobat.
