Rotating Comments

Post by bgupta »

I am recent user of PDF-Xchange Viewer Pro, an excellent software and big help when commenting is needed on existing PDF files.

When commenting on PDF files using "Typewriter" the text is entered into a rectangle frame.
Is it possible to rotate it (with text) at any user desired angle?

If it is not in current verision is this facility availaible in any of current products of PDF-XChange or being planned in near future version?

You can rotate the view, type your text, then rotate the view back again.

Yes, what probably you mean is that whole page is to be rotated. That gives only one option, i.e writing perpendicular to the main text.

What if I wish to rotate the comment text only say 45 degrees or for that matter any other angle?

I don't think this exist even in the full Adobe Acrobat version, so probably it's not even supported by pdf

The Rotation of most comments isn't allowed by the PDF Specification.
Only some types of comments support rotation (and please note, for different types of comments rotation has a different meaning in the PDF specification) for 90, -90, 180 degrees.
