Hi,

I've created a PDF from Powerpoint and when I paste form fields into it (copied from another PDF) the form fields are all rotated through 90 degrees!

I've tried rotating the whole page and then rotating back and even rotating the source document for the fields before copying them - but nothing works.

This is quite a complicated form with lots of fields, I really don't want to have to do them all from scratch again.

I'm using Acrobat 7 Pro and it's an Acroform.

Thanks in advance.

The easiest way to rotate these fields back to their proper position is to select them all in the Form Fields navigation panel (Shift + click) then go the Form Properties then modify the rotation.

Is this a landscape document? This is a well-known (but unresolved) bug that rotates links and other objects originally created in v5 of Acrobat when a replacement page created in v6 or later is used as a replacement. Same was true of v4 to v5.
