I can load PDFs into image editing software I have and save them again - but I'm not clear about the rotate. I'm guessing you want to convert the page layout from portrait to landscape for what is a text document basically? Or is the PDF document just images?

The PDF file is all scanned images. I would be curious about your editing software. I have read up on that and some people were saying it decreases the quality. Can I email you one of the pdfs and we can try it?

This is what I have been working on for quite awhile and what the questions about PDF's are about. The Chapel has taken on a new development, game manuals. I've seen comments on Steam when people are playing older games and they cannot find a manual anywhere. I've also bought some older games on EBAY and they came without a manual. The Chapel was one of those rooms in the Manor that needed an upgrade. So here you have it:

This is a work in progress...

You can rotate the pdf once you open it. Either by right-clicking or hitting the tool button at the top. I would like them all so you do not have to rotate.

If anyone feels inclined to scan some of their manuals from older games I will gladly take them. :)

I have a feeling I have some of these old manuals! I know I have some original boxes upstairs. I'll check tomorrow.

I'll have a go at this, thanks for the link GhostLady. I understand the problem now! This is not a trivial problem given the number of pages.

GL I've sent you an email (apologies for the size) with one of the manuals loaded into Affinity Photo, rotated, then saved out as a PDF.

I moved to Affinity Photo from Photoshop because of Adobe moving to a subscription model.

Kickaha, I haven’t been able to look at this yet. We got a new rescue kitty today so we’re trying to get him integrated into the family. But I will get to it soon. Thank you.

So far I've found manuals for Dark Fall the Journal, 2003 and Penumbra Overture, 2007. In the Dark Fall box is an order form for the complete strategy and solutions guide for a mere $9.99!

I've got a jackpot here! Beyond Atlantis II, Amber Journeys Beyond, Lights Out, Mystery of the Nautilus, Uru, Grim Fandango and on and on! I can double check against what is already there first.

Want me to start scanning if I find any?

Oh yes, Drac, I’ll take them. Check what I have listed so far so you don’t do extra work. Awesome. I am having trouble typing, the new kitty...

These are the jewel case manuals, right? I may be able to help, too.

Yes jewel case manuals or sometimes there is the manual within the box itself.

There is still a lot of hissing from the new cat. Finnegan wants to be friends but it ain’t happening yet. I had to separate them yesterday and put the new cat in a locked room with his food and water and litter box. so he would feel safe. He finally used the litter box this morning so #1 is down. 😺 🙀 😻 😹 😼
