Straightening Skewed Pages
This function allows you to straighten pages that were skewed when the original document was scanned.
Straightening skewed documents is possible only if the original type is Image PDF (
). Additionally, automatic straightening is possible only if the document’s color mode is black and white (1 bit)(
).If you perform other edits on a document that has been straightened and then perform straightening again, the image quality might deteriorate. (If you are only straightening a document, the image quality will not deteriorate no matter how many times you perform straightening.)
This function can be performed using the on-screen items indicated in the following illustration.
