Deskew Pages

The Deskew tool can be used to adjust a skewed (tilted) document image. Skewing can occur if the original document was skewed when it was added into Document Management or the scanner. The Deskew tool examines the image and determines the skew angle. The skew angle is measured between the actual edge of the image data and the horizontal or vertical axis. The image data is then rotated to correct the skew angle. Deskewing an image makes the image contents more legible and can improve OCR results.
