Automatically Rotate PDF App based off text direction?

[Mikebuzzsaw]

I scanned a couple hundred pages of my notes and some of them are in landscape.

All the pages in the PDF is currently in portrait. Is there any program that can find and rotate certain pages into landscape based off text direction?

I tried using the Adobe Acrobat Pro Deskew function, but that didn't seem to work. I could do it manually, but over 400 pages is a PITA.

Try running the OCR Text Recognition function in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Its under the document menu.

Not only will it deskew the text, it will recognise the characters making your scanned document fully searchable with Find functions. Save after to save the changes!

Might take 5 - 10 mins to run 400 pages. Have tea

Edit: Assuming the notes are not in handwriting that is!

Optimize scanned document is a better choice in Acrobat pro for this.

Cool. Never tried that. Surely the OCR just calls this as a subroutine however ?

Could be… not sure. The plus is that this option allows you to change the title and other meta data and do a batch process. OCR can do batch too but doesn't allow name/meta data changes. Plus, I didn't know that OCR did automatic rotation (which you mentioned in your post). This does that.
