My brother has sent me a PDF of a family birth certificate. Because his scanner is A4 and the certificate is longer, the PDF has 2 pages each with part of the image.

I have only just downloaded Irfan View so know nothing about it , except that folks say it is brilliant and I suppose it would be able to do what I need

1 The images on the 2 pages of the PDF are rotated, with LHS of cert at top of page.
2 There is an overlap between what is shown on the 2 pages: the rightmost 1-1/2 inches of the certificate is missing off the first page and the leftmost 1-1/2" of the certificate are missing from the second page.

I'm sure that IrfanView can handle
1. rotating the two halves from landscape to portrait and locking them into that landscape orientation
1. chopping the first page up so I keep the lefthand 1-1/2 and then
2. attaching it to the whole of the second page

and either before or after these manoeuvres converting it into JPEG.

So far I have found how to rotate the first page to landscape but I can't keep the first page in landscape while I turn the other page - it just flips back to where is started. Must I save each page rotated as a separate item?

Next, how do I chop and splice to achieve what I describe above?

And third, I can save the PDF as a JPEG, but would it be easier to achieve the chopping and sticking on a PDF or a JPEG.

Any help would be much appreciated

The first step is to create two images.
Open the PDF in Irfanview and use Options > Multipage images > Extract all pages and save as two jpg or png files.

In Irfanview Crop one of the files so there is no overlap.

Then in Irfanview use Image > Create panorama image and Add images and set other options to join the two images into one.

Finally if necessary use Image > Rotate left/right.

Thank you Tatewise - I think I can manage that . I'll give it a try when I have had some tea!

Splendid instructions - worked a treat. Thank you!
