PDF Document Management 7: Deskew PDF Pages

PDFill PDF Deskew provides a quick way to correct the skew in the scanned images from Acrobat PDF documents. In this process, the original PDF page is inserted into a new blank PDF page. So, you can change the new page size. You can rotate, transform, scale, or crop the PDF page just like the way as you work on an image.

There are two ways to Deskew PDF Page:

1) Deskew Current Page Automatically: The function detects the tilted image and rotates it automatically using a special algorithm.  It works only with the scanned text-print image.

2) Draw a line to Deskew Current Page: You can deskew semi-automatically by drawing a line. This requires visual work but it is more accurate and it can provides tune-up to the first automatic method.
