Feature Request: Add Sideways text to bates feature

Post by Joseph Carpenter »

For certain types of records, the only blank space on the page readily available for a Bates Stamp is on the side, with the text rotated 90 degrees.

Currently, my users are rotating the pages to landscape, with the top of the page on the right, then applying the bates stamp, then rotating the pages back to portrait when they are done.

We had a 2006 software called Bates Stamp Pro, and they are asking me to reinstall this because of the convenience. I am resisting, because PDF XChange is superior even with the extra step.

If you add this in a future update it would be very useful to my users.

Thank you,

Joseph Carpenter

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for the post - the Editor is capable of rotating annotations 360 degrees, so my suggestion would be to try this and see if that's what you need. You can download and try via this link:

Also, please see this link for instructions on how to manipulate annotations

Cheers, let me know if that works for you!
