This is not command line but at least it shows it can be done. I got a local store to scan some legal documents for me and they were in .pdf. I opened them with Gimp, yea, the picture program. I could rotate them so they would not give me or my lawyer a sore neck when reading them. They were sideways. I doubt Gimp has any command line options but I suspect that Gimp uses some sort of a plugin to do this. If you can find out what plugin it uses, then you may can do it on command line. Hope that info will bring forth much fruit. Dale :-) :-)
