How to change landscape page numbers to proper orientation in PDF rather than in Word
Open the pdf version of your final-final-final document which only needs landscape page numbers corrected (confirm
with Graduate Office that you are working on a ready-to-deposit copy). While in the pdf, click Ctrl+U to show grid.

Select “Edit PDF” from the right tool bar:

Continue through This process for every landscape page in your document.
Save your final copy and use that version to upload to HammerRR and ScholarWorks.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU NEED NO OTHER EDITS PRIOR TO DOING THIS PROCESS, AS YOU
WILL HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER IF YOU NEED TO MAKE ANY EDITS TO YOUR WORD
DOCUMENT IN ORDER TO DEPOSIT.
The Purdue Graduate Recorder is more than happy to review your document a final time
prior to changing page numbers.
