I noticed that OneNote always displays PDF's sideways after inserting them using the File Printout command. I read some discussions where MS tried to say it had something to do with the printer driver in Adobe, etc., etc. I don't understand why I have to install a 3rd party program (Onetastic) which does plenty of good things, but I really only use it for the rotate PDF menu that it provides. Did the MS engineers just get too tired to include this very basic, totally necessary feature?

Then maybe someone should add the function. It is irritating that when you copy and past or print a pdf into Note it turns it sidways and there is no way to turn it. I would think that is kind of common sense to have this function in OneNote.

This is wrong. Just don't use Insert Printout, use the Send to OneNote "printer" directly, then you can set the orientation in the printer's properties.

Thank EJ, I have the same problem with oneNote. If you call Microsoft, they always push you to subscribe the service for one year, or one time pay. This is a very basic thing. Even they don't clarify the problem and how to fix it. Just money and money..... that's not fair,,,,, we have already paid lot for MS products......... So could any one help,,,,, how can I import the landscape slides (pdf or powerpoint) in portrait layout and annotate on them in my class , seminar or presentation...........
Hello
You can rotate your pdf first, then select print to one note. Then you would notice that your PDF is rotated to the right position.
Hey dudes, I like ya'll have been having trouble with uploading my pdf printouts in the right orientation on onenote. I fiddled around with onetastic but I got tired of straightening my pdf images one at a time so I did some more fiddling around and found that if I open my pdf in microsoft word instead of acrobat, and then print to onenote, I don't have the same problem!!
Hope this helps!!
