Batch Rotate Pages

The Rotate Pages feature allows you to rotate the page contents of a PDF in 90° intervals. This feature rotates the page contents, which becomes permanent when the PDF is saved. See Rotate View to rotate the view temporarily, which does not change the PDF.

The Batch Rotate Pages feature for multiple PDFs is discussed here. There is also a single-PDF version of Rotate Pages.

PDFs do not need to be open in Revu when the batch process is run. If a document is open in Revu, any changes resulting from the batch process will be made to the document, but the document will not be saved or checked in (if relevant); the user will need to save and check in the document manually. If a document is not open in Revu, and it is not checked out/locked by another user, changes will be applied and saved to the document automatically (without opening the document in Revu).

  1. Go to File > Batch > Rotate Pages. The Batch: Rotate Pages dialog box appears.

  2. Add PDFs to be processed using one (or both) of the following methods:

    • To add all PDFs that are currently open in Revu, click Add Open Files.
    • To select files from a local or network drive, click Add.

  3. PDFs are rotated in the order they appear in the File List. To change the order:

    • Click and select the desired sort option to sort the files automatically.
    • Select a file you wish to move and click either to move it up in the list or to move it down in the list to reorder the files in the list manually.
    • Select a file and click to remove it from the list.

  4. To rotate only certain pages of a PDF, select it, then click the Pages menu and choose from the following:

    • All Pages: Sets the range to all pages.
    • Custom: Sets the range to a custom value. When this option is selected the list becomes a text box. To enter a custom range:
      • Use a dash between page numbers to define those two pages and all pages in between.
      • Use a comma to define pages that are separated.

      For example: 1-3, 5, 9 will include pages 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9.

  5. From the Apply To menus, select among Even Pages Only, Odd Pages Only or Odd and Even Pages and among Landscape Pages, Portrait Pages or Landscape and Portrait Pages. These selections work in conjunction to form the filter, so any pages to be processed must meet both criteria selected.

  6. Click OK. The Rotate Pages dialog box appears.

  7. Select the desired rotation direction from the Direction menu.
  8. Click OK.
