I asked:
Is there any way to rotate an image in increments smaller than one degree?
Leonard Rosenthol replied:
What type of image? Is this a raster image that you've placed into the source document and then PDF'd? If so, just fix it in the original and recreate the PDF...
No, it's pages of a paper document that were printed slightly askew. Theoretically, one could keep moving the paper around on the scanner glass until it was just right, but that could waste a lot of time -- and patience.
I think what you're really looking for is a scanning application which will handle deskewing. That would allow the scanned image to be rotated precisely based on some known vertical/horizontal reference on the image itself. There will always be slight shifts of alignment when scanning images, but they can be corrected electronically fairly easily. Even if the shift was due to the original print being misaligned the deskewing function should be able to correct it.
