How can I rotate a picture object?

Question

I have picture that I have extracted from an Adobe Acrobat pdf file by means of copying it to the clipboard. The picture can be inserted into word or similar programmes by pasting it directly, but appears at a 90 degree angle. The rotate functions in Word for example are greyed out and cannot be selected. How can I rotate the picture object back to it's original position so that I can use it within the document? Either that or stop it being rotated in the first place? Any ideas?

Answer 1

Go into Microsoft Paint, click edit, paste, while its still selected, click Image, Flip/Rotate, rotate by angle: --degrees, repeat if necessary. Then resize the box around the image (white area) by clicking on the corner where the white meets the gray. Then click Edit, Select All, then in word click paste.

Answer 2

Use the "print screen" button on the keyboard, open "paint" and paste. This will paste whatever was on the screen as a picture which can be trimmed and rotated and saved as a jpeg image.

Answer 3

If you have photoshop, you may open your image file and convert its extension to jpeg or gif or bmp. Then you can add it to word and rotate. You may try the same thing with another application such as MS paint, printshop pro... Simply paste your image on a blank page/project and save it. I hope it works.

Answer 4

paste it into microsoft Paint. Then, before de-selecting it, go to image, flip/rotate, and rotate it to the position you want. Then, copy it and paste it into word.

Answer 5

I use a picture processor, in my case print shop pro. I can rotate, change colors, crop etc. all with a few clicks of my mouse.

Hi

I don't personally know but I know a man who does!!

I will speak to him tomorrow as I have experienced the same problem regarding artwork for a cushion that I sent over to China for print and they came back with exactly the same problem.

Will keep you posted.
