Hello dear all,
I work in industry, I am the designer of the company and I have to manage an archive of 6.500 drawings. To do so, we bought a scanner (AO oversize) and now I scan the paper-based drawings and extract them to pdf. After scanning I have to modify them, rotate and rename.
Since the number is large, is there a way to avoid the time-waste procedure of Document->Rotate page.... and create a button to do it?
oh, I work with Adobe Acrobat Standard 7.0.

thanks,

Vaggelis

Standard doesn't support batch processing so you can't run a rotate on a folder of files, nor can you add a toolbar button for the same reason.

However the doc rotate menu item has a shortcut (shift-ctrl-R or shift-cmd-R), and will remember what you did with it last time (even if you close Acrobat), plus it sets focus to the OK button. So once you've rotated your first document, you can open the next one and hit

shift-ctrl-R
ENTER

Afraid you'll have to do it 6500 times by hand, unless you upgrade to Acrobat Pro.

An archive is a collection of computer files that have been packaged together for backup,to transport to some other location,for saving away from the computer so that more hard disk storage can be made available or for some other purpose.
