How to edit a PDF

Lcurriepuff on 31/08/2017 - 14:47

Hi
Just wondering if anyone can help me.
I receive water bills and rates notices via email as pdf, but they are always provided on landscape view and I prefer to have them as portrait view. I don't know how to turn them around.
Can anyone assist?
Thank you.

    Surely your viewer has a rotate command? Failing that just search for PDF editor and you will get lots of choice.

    If all you need to do is basic rotate / pdf splitting / merging,

    I'd recommend freeware pdfsam : http://www.pdfsam.org

    I don't like the updated version and use 2.2.4 : https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfsam/files/pdfsam/2.2.4/

      This is a great app. I use it daily to merge PDFs. For instance merging monthly statements into one yearly PDF.
      It has also other great features, such as rotating. Exactly want you want to do.

        agreed, use it at the work place, - plugins -> visual document composer

        I think 2.2.4 was the last of the older versions (just stuck to it and never bothered to check) before it became even more cumbersome / packaged other crap into the installer

    You sure you've not set the default view of your PDF viewer to landscape over portrait? As I'm sure that a user settings, but that being said if they are formatted to landscape, forcing them to portrait will be a layout mess.

    Use the Ctrl and [ or ] keys in Chrome.

    I think it's ctrl shift and +

    Open it in Word and then print to pdf once you've finished your edits.

    I've never received a bill in landscape???

      It could be a bill from a landscaper.

      Better turning the whole desk, then it's easier to use the mouse.

    Thanks everyone, sorry I am not very computer savvy as you can guess!!
    I have managed with ctrl shift + as suggested above.
