I think I'm going to take a crack at this one.

Hey nice one! 
I'll race you - i'm on chapter 3 of C# for Dummies.  :)

Many thanks for your persistence in this matter :)

Well command line eh?  That last /extract option looks interesting and I'll give it a go later this evening when I'm back from work.  I'm not sure I see that as a long-term solution, assuming it works, as I would like an easy to use GUI that I could give to a friend who also gets these faxes.

I really am intrigued by trying to code something myself.  At the moment all I really know in C# is that the lines all end in ; :)

Afraid not!  :(

I've had a good go with Irfanview and was amazed, given the millions of options and buttons, that it won't do what I want.
It is surprising -- unfortunate too.

I looked at the "Command Line Options" section of IrfanView's help file and saw some things which looked relevant:

/filelist=txtfile -        use filenames from "txtfile" as input, see examples below
...
/rotate_r -        rotate input image to right
/rotate_l -        rotate input image to left
/hflip -        horizontal flip
/vflip -        vertical flip
...
/multitif=(tif,files) -        create multipage TIF from input files
...
/extract=(folder,ext) -        extract all pages from a multipage file

I don't suppose a combination of some / all of these and possibly other options might be of any use...

Sorry -- I failed to understand your original post accurately :)  However...

...but the problem with Irfanview is that it only does the current page you're on.  I think batching works on several files but it doesn't handle a multi-page tiff.
I was looking at the "Set for all images" dialog (what comes up after pressing the Advanced button), and I noticed a check box with the label "Apply changes to all pages (if TIF saving)".
 (see attachment in previous post)
Does that not help in this situation?

Many thanks, it's a good idea but the problem with Irfanview is that it only does the current page you're on.  I think batching works on several files but it doesn't handle a multi-page tiff.

Perhaps the following doesn't work so well for you, but have you considered the batch operations in IrfanView?

The following outline is for version 4.25.

Menu ->
  File ->
    Batch Conversion / Rename

  • Press Advanced button
  • Select from among Vertical flip, Rotate left, Rotate right, etc.

Also possible via its thumbnail window:

Menu ->
  File ->
    Thumbnails ->

  • Select multiple images
  • Right click and choose "Start batch dialog with files"
  • Continue as described previously

Finished Programs / DONE: app to rotate multi-page images

I often get faxes via email and these are always upside down.  Don't ask why.  I've tried and failed to find an application that will load up the TIFF file (for that is what it is), rotate each page by 180 degrees and then save it to jpg or pdf.  I want to upload the modified file to my project site where we keep all related messages and files in one place.

I'm literally tearing my hair out on this one.  Most apps will allows to rotate and save ONE page but the rest are never changed.

I am learning C# so if no one can help I will learn how to make a nice simple app (and presumably make millions because I can't be the only person who wants to rotate multi-page documents).

I see the application as having
* a button to browse to the file.  
* Then a rotate left, right and 180 degrees button.  
* A preview of the image
* A button to specify the output location.
* OK and Cancel buttons.

Any takers?  :-*
