I have a PDF document created by a Fax service (rightfax?) The document pages are TIFF images - some are upside down or landscape oriented. I need to rotate them to fix the orientation for portrait viewing.

How do I do that? I have v18/v19 (and the PDF package)

Thanks!

You can manually rotate them, where you would pass the angle using the RotateCommand:
https://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v19/dh/l/leadtools~leadtools.imageprocessing.rotatecommand.html

However if you want it to auto-detect how it should be rotated, the only way we could do that is if it had a lot of text on it, you could use the auto-rotate functionality of the OCR.

There is an older post that discusses similar functionality:
http://support.leadtools.com/SupportPortal/CS/forums/24546/showpost.aspx
https://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v19/dh/fo/leadtools.forms.ocr~leadtools.forms.ocr.ocrautopreprocesspagecommand.html

Without the OCR/Text there is no way for our SDK to determine what is the proper orientation, with text it has a reference point.

If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Thanks. How do I replace the page/image that i rotated on the original PDF document? Below is a quick snippet.
My goal is to rotate the first page on a multi-page document and save it. Not sure how to save the rotated image back on the PDF.

void RotatePdfPage(string pdfFileName)
{
PDFFile file = new PDFFile(pdfFileName);
using (PDFDocument document = new PDFDocument(pdfFileName))
{
using (RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs())
{
int pageNumber = 1;
using (RasterImage image = document.GetPageImage(codecs, pageNumber))
{
CodecsRasterPdfInfo pdfInfo = codecs.GetRasterPdfInfo(pdfFileName, pageNumber);

RotateCommand command = new RotateCommand();
command.Angle = 90 * 100;
command.FillColor = new RasterColor(255, 255, 255);
command.Flags = RotateCommandFlags.Bicubic;
command.Run(image);

// TODO: Save the rotated page in the original PDF docuemnt
}
}
}
}

The problem is you can't save over it unless it was a RasterPDF created with leadtools. See:
http://support.leadtools.com/SupportPortal/CS/forums/44337/ShowPost.aspx

You can however create a new pdf pretty simply with the rotated page.
codecs.Save(image, pdfFileName, RasterImageFormat.RasPdf, 0);

Then with that PDF you would be able to use the codecs overloads to add in pages/overwrite/replace.
