| Good Morning and Hello!
|
| I use GIMP to "fix" pdf files - eliminate blotches and hopefully
| straighten images from scans.
|
| In attempting to straighten a scanned image, and in the immediate case,
| a driver's license that is off by some 22° or so, i :
|
| import the pdf opening the page as an image,
| set my resolution to 300, then
| selected View, Flip and Rotate,
| Other Rotation Angle
|
| and apparently i am all wrong for though this allows me to rotate the
| entire document so the image is horizontal, i don't seem to have a way
| to now print the image as horizontal, cropping still uses the alignment
| of the overall document.
|
| As i am working with one image per document, i needn't worry about
| anything else on the scanned sheet, i just want to save to a new pdf
| (print to pdf) a straightened document!
|
| Is there a way to achieve what i want?

Yes: Shift-R, then drag the image until it is in the desired oriantation, 
after which you'll want to crop to suit.
