We run Adobe Acrobat X Pro (Windows 7 32-bit PCs). No other versions are available.
I have a PDF file created several years ago from scanned pages. These consist of text, line drawings, and some photographs. All pages are gray-scale.
Some of the pages are skewed by 10-15 degrees. I want to deskew them. I do not want to compress or process anything else.
I have read dozens of web pages on how to do this, but none seem applicable. My main efforts have been via Tools | Document Processing | Optimize Scanned PDF. There I uncheck "Apply Adaptive Compression" and "Make Searchable". Under Filters I set Deskew ON and the other three (Descreen etc) OFF.
--> When I click on OK (Optimize Scanned PDF), every page is processed - but no deskew is applied. The document appears identical to when I started.
Further info: If I do enable "Apply Adaptive Compression", with other settings as above, the pages ARE deskewed. However, my images are always degraded unacceptably, regardless of the compression options I try.
--> How can I have Acrobat X Pro simply deskew the document?
It's hard to believe that such a basic function would be totally broken. I hope that I'm missing something.
Thanks
