Andrew,
Can't help on the rotate bit but send me the pdf's or jpgs of the two grubby pages.

awemawson:
Thanks chaps for the various suggestions, which I will follow up./

Meanwhile I've made a bit of progress in that I've scanned those two pages to Word 2007 the idea being if I end up with a good quality printable page, I can then scan it into searchable pdf and edit into my original large document.

.... but now I'm having a hissy trying to sort out setting / clearing tabs in Word 2007 to get the referenced page numbers to line up  :bang:

I'd upload a copy but it's not a format supported by the forum  :bang: :bang:

You can pretty much upload anything if you zip it first.

I used to generate PDF Files at work using Adobe Acrobat from Pagemaker and later Adobe InDesign. When done in this way the text is selectable and scalable. I notice its not in your PDF. Other folks at work without Acrobat software used to print Word documents then scan them as PDF. As far as I could tell these weren't proper PDF files with selectable and scalable text etc but just a graphic file like JPEG but with a PDF extension. There seem to be lots of packages out there to produce PDF's but many of them don't seem to work very well judging by the results I've seen.

As a point of interest, PDF was built into Apples OSX software from it's inception so it's extremely easy to produce PDF files without additional software.
