How do I switch the scan from portrait to landscape?

jcs17 · ‎03-08-2013

I must be doing something wrong. If I scan a story, the story comes out in portrait, not landscape. Can I switch that or is there some way to do it after the scan? It seems I can't save it in landscape.

Hi,

The scanner scans the glass area. Some scanners allow you to rotate the results and you can ALWAYS rotate post processing (after scan). What is the format of the scanned files ?

Regards.

I was scanning a short story from a book, getting two pages on one page.

Hi,

Sorry, you have not answered my question: what is the format of the scanned file ? Is it an image file, a pdf file or else. For pdf file please use the following tool (online)

For image (jpg) file please use the following tool (download, install to your computer)
