Rotate PDF's in OneNote

Send Feedback to MS. Maybe they may come up with an option to rotate images printed to OneNote.

Thanks for the insight into how OneNote works.

It is sad that an individual can do something that MS refuses to do.  I am a programmer, so I do understand the trade off between requirements, time and money. Your "excuse" for MS only goes so far. Sure, they can argue there was not enough time to add the feature for the 2013 release, but in the 6 months (more since it was locked down) since it was released, MS has had time to code, test and roll out the feature as part of a Windows Update.

Can you clarify your suggestion

"One suggestion I can give is, instead of using Insert > File Printout, open the file first and then use Print command in the application (e.g. Adobe) and choose your orientation there. This will do the same insertion, but with the correct orientation."

Do you mean, in the PDF reader Print to OneNote with the orientation selected?

when printing larger PDF to OneNote, the PDF is broken in individual subpages. This prevent scrolling, and its annoying since I have pages that have 61 subpages attached. Any one knows a solutions to this?

 

Go to File -> Options -> Advanced and uncheck "Insert long printouts on multiple pages".

Hi Omer,

I have LOTS of University class notes that I need to put in OneNote in layout format. They all get inserted in Portrait format when I use File Printout. I tried your suggestions, but the result were unsuccessful.

Printing to OneNote does not always work. It works when I print to OneNote from a small PDF of 1 or 3 pages, but it does not work when I do it with big PDF of 26 and 64 pages. When I click 'Print' the progress bar loads to 100%, but OneNote fails to open. The only other difference with the bigger PDF is that they are PDF of PowerPoint, but that should not matter since the file format are all PDF. The biggest PDF is only 2.20MB.

Therefore I download your OneTastic on Omeratay. When I click on the application 'OnetasticInstaller' I get the following message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item.". Then I click OK, and get the following error "Window cannot complete the installation. The destination file could not be created.".

I own a brand new Surface Pro, I am the only user on that PC, and I have downloaded other program without permission issues.

I also used Adobe Acrobat XI Pro to rotate the PDF and save them in layout format. That did not work.

Do you have any suggestion for what to do, or other options to get my PDF rotated in OneNote?

Thanks,

Francis

1. Open the PDF in Adobe.
2. Select print

The print dialogue box will display. 

• select "send To OneNote" as the printer
• uncheck the box "Auto-Rotate and Center"
• select "Properties" and then select "Landscape" from the "Layout" tab. Then select "ok"
• Then select "ok" in the "Print" dialogue box.

Tested it twice and this solved the issue
