PDF - Rotate single image only

Question

PDF - Rotate single image only

The rotate tool in preview rotates ALL of the pages in a pdf file.
How can I rotate only ONE image of a multi-page pdf?
Thank you. - Robert

Your post isn't clear. Do you want to rotate one page or one image within a page?

Robert,

Make sure that all of the pages of the pdf are not "selected" in the drawer. Select just one and then try rotating it.

sorry if this is not your problem,

Sorry...I mean rotate one entire page.
(My mind drifted to the word "image" because
the page happens to be a photo. I selected several
photos from my iPhoto 06 and created the PDF.
When I looked at it in Preview, a few had been
rotated. It is not because the image size was so
large that the rotation was forced...even when I
made the images small, Preview was determined to
rotate some of them on their way from iPhoto to
pdf.) Thank you. - Robert

I am only selecting one image in the drawer.
But thank you.

I don't think preview can do what you are asking. You might need to have Adobe Acrobat, which can rotate individual pages and - with add-ons, individual images or text. I'm not sure if Acrobat Reader can do this, but - since its a free download I suggest you download it from the adobe website and give it a try.

If this doesn't help, you can rotate it in Illustrator or at worst Photoshop and re-import the page back into the file. of course if you open the page in Photoshop, you will be in effect rasterizing it, including the type.

Use Combine PDFs
<http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.info/Freeware/CombinePDFs.shtml>
It will let you rotate individual pages in one or more more PDFs, then create one PDF result.
