PDF rotation solution recommendation

Dear Community, 

I have a request from client A that a solution to rotate PDF file to vertical is needed. The PDF files comes from various retailors and some small business only have basic scanning machine which cannot adjust the orientation of PDF after scanning... the PDF files will be stored at client A sharepoint side and they want to be able to check the info from PDF without twisting the neck and reduce manual intervention...

 

I see 3 possible stages that we can choose one from :

 

1.Before sending email: by using software vendor tools ---> Can anyone recommend trust worthy tools to rotate the PDF docs easily after scanning? 

 

2. Correct the PDF orientation at power automate flow .I see the possible connector from one of software vendors -cloudmassive, but it's only possible to rotate file at a static chosen degree, not able to detect the orientation of the text and rotate it automatically. So I'll need to find a way to detect the text orientation and setup condition in the OCR flow (which MS AI builder connector not able to do that yet).---> Any advices to dynamically rotate the PDF at power automate?

3.Correct the PDF orientation at SharePoint Library using software vendors tool such as muhimbihttps://www.muhimbi.com/guides/pdf-editor/sharepoint/rotate-pdf/  

--->Any experience on this tool or have other recommendations?

    Hi @AlexEncodian sorry for late response, can  OCR a PDF Document action at power automate auto-(detect and)rotate PDF without having to assign prefix degree? (ex. 90 degree at the flow, then all PDF pages can only be rotate to 90 degree...)

     

     

    The PDF pages can go up to 50 pages for example, is there any limit for this action? 

     

    thanks in advance!!

    Hi,

     

    Yes, it can. Please have a look at the link and read the documentation. 

    The best way is to sign up to a trial (free, no credit card required, 500 actions included) and test it out.

     

    FYI - OCR is a computationally expensive action. Therefore the charging model is 1 action per page. Everything is explained in the link above
