[Feature Request] Rotate PDF / Crop Window

[joelebutler]

This tool is a lifesaver first of all, thanks.

It would be very nice to either be able to rotate the pdf on an axis before cropping to allow for more accurate cropping on files that contain content which is slightly angled.

Thanks : ) I've tried to implement it with automatic deskew and manual rotation. Please check if it works reasonably well for you. Auto deskew is optional: python -m pip install "pycroppdf[deskew]".

Looks pretty good, but a few minor things:

1. Cropping locks the rotate functionality but does not de-activate the toolbar or button.
2. It would be nice to have them usable simultaneously, similar to the iPhone photo cropping if you've used that. If not, I can provide more details.

Ok, please have another look : )

Almost perfect, just need the crop button to highlight when you're in rotate mode to indicate that cropping mode is still active. Otherwise, super nice! Thank you!

[lukaszliniewicz]

Good feedback, I added an accent to indicate that cropping is still active.

Looks good, but disappears after the preview button for rotate is clicked.

Thanks — fixed in v0.4.4. The Crop indicator now stays visible during rotation preview, with muted styling to show that crop adjustment is temporarily locked until the preview is applied or discarded.
