Unlike Adobe Acrobat, you can use Microsoft Word to view PDF documents in a more consistent format. Although you cannot directly incorporate your PDF files in Word, you can still convert some pages to a format that is compatible with Word and use the following steps to rotate an image.
1. Converting PDF
a) To convert your PDF file, open the document and navigate through to the page you would like to import into your Word document.
b) From the Acrobat Reader toolbar, click the snapshot icon resembling a camera. If you can’t see this icon, right click on the toolbar to display the "options" menu and click on "snapshot" to add it to your toolbar.
c) Place the cross-shaped snapshot cursor at the upper left corner of the page you wish to copy. Then, press and hold the mouse key, and drag the cursor towards the lower right corner of the section you wish to copy.
d) When you release the key, you will automatically copy that the selected PDF section.
2. Paste and Rotate
a) Open the Word document where you wish to insert the copied PDF section. Then, click the CTRL and V buttons at the same time to automatically paste the image.
b) To select the image, move the cursor inside the image and click the mouse key.
c) Move the cursor over the tiny green dot displayed outside the middle of the image’s top edge.
d) Click and hold your mouse key to grab this dot (which acts as the image rotation tool).
e) To rotate the image in a counterclockwise direction, move the cursor towards the left, or to the right for a clockwise rotation.
And there you go! You have successfully rotated your PDF image using Word.
Adobe Acrobat usually detects the majority of the text in a presentation. Therefore, resulting PDF documents usually automatically display text horizontally. However, you first need to turn this feature on since, by default, it is off in most job options settings in Acrobat.
To solve this problem, follow these steps:
a) Open your PowerPoint presentation.
b) From the Main Menu bar, click on File, then on Print.

d) From the Properties dialog box, click on the Adobe PDF Settings tab.
e) Choose the setting (Job Options) you wish to edit and click on the "Edit Conversion Settings" button.
