Rotate PDF's in OneNote

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?

    1. Get inform why it was left out... is it not the goal of working with a team of people... 
    2. It was a bit complicated and we didn't have enought time.... You guys have no competition and it sucks. You know that we have no alternative and are stuck using Office. The least you could do it to take the damn time to include basic things like rotating Printout. Eveything I include in OneNote is landscape PDF and now its useless... I can't wait for for Chromebook and Google Word to become more popular... There will finally be a reason for you (Microsoft people) to properly make your work.

    Why is this feature missing? Well, it was missing in 2010, and I don't know why because I wasn't part of the OneNote team back then. We tried to bring this to 2013 but the issue was a bit complicated and we didn't have enough time to solve it completely and properly. Therefore it was left out.

    Thank you Omer.  That was a very thoughtful and considerate reply, and it is refreshing to see this level of engagement and patience with customers.  I am downloading Onetastic as I write this.

    Hi Omer -

    Thanks very much for creating the PDF rotation solution. I installed it and it worked perfectly - I had close to 100 pages I had to rotate so your solution is a life saver. Having an ability to do a bulk rotation - select a set of pages and tell OneNote to rotate them all 90 degrees right would be wonderful.

    All the best,

    Jeff
