Rotate only pages with /Rotate = 180

Post by zarkogajic »

Hi Support,

Is there a way to rotate by 180° (90/-90) only those pages in a PDF document that have the page rotation property set to /Rotate = 180, while leaving all other pages unchanged?

In other words, I want to apply a 180° rotation only to pages currently marked with /Rotate = 180, effectively removing that rotation setting.

The affected pages are not consecutive, and not all pages in the document have this setting.

Can this be done in a single operation, without manually selecting each page?

p.s.
Seems I'm asking for something like "Pages of XY Rotation":

Hello, zarkogajic

I am sorry to say, not at the moment. I believe this is an intentional limitation, due to the confusion which is caused by page rotation values not always reliable lining up with the visible content - offering the option to rotate all 180/d rotation pages might give in expectation that they will all be upright, when in many cases, the pages were simply scanned upside down, and thus exist at 0/d rotation instead.

I will pass on the suggestion, but I cannot promise an implementation at this time.

Kind regards,

Hi Dan,

Thanks. As with any option the user should know what the option is really for :)

I'll close the topic hoping it will be implemented at some future point...
