Is there a way to rotate my document by 45 degrees?

Post by jordancurk »

I see I can rotate in increments of 90 degrees.. but I'm working with a floor plan and it would be a lot easier if I could rotate the entire document by 45 degrees, but I can't find a way to do it. Is this something that's possible?

Hello, jordancurk

I am afraid not, In PDF, pages must be aligned with the X/Y axis of the pages being displayed vertically/horizontally. If you need finer rotation than that, you will need to select and rotate the content on the page instead, without affecting the page itself.

Hello jordancurk,

Prepare a blank document in advance with the desired page size and number of pages after rotation, specify a 45-degree angle with the Overlay Pages feature, and overlay the original file with the source file. The Overlay Pages feature offers a variety of options, and I am sure it will meet your needs.
