About This Feature
Overview
WPS PDF Correction is a scanned-PDF adjustment feature in WPS PDF for Windows. It is used to detect and correct skewed pages so scanned documents look more aligned and are easier to review, proofread, and save.
Its main tasks include:
- Correct a document automatically: detect and correct skewed pages in a scanned PDF.
- Adjust correction manually: fine-tune the page angle in manual mode and preview the result before applying it.
This feature is useful for scanned contracts, digitized paper materials, class handouts, and other files that contain slightly tilted pages or inconsistent page alignment after scanning.
System Requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | A Windows desktop environment |
| App version | The latest version of WPS Office is recommended, with PDF components available |
| Network | No mandatory network connection for local correction tasks; internet access is needed to sign in to a membership account |
| Other | The PDF file should open normally, and enough local storage is recommended for scanned-file processing |

| Capability Summary | Provides automatic correction for skewed scanned PDF pages and also supports a manual adjustment mode under the Scanned Document tab. | Microsoft official documentation shows PDF page rotation for single or multiple pages in OneDrive, which helps correct page orientation. | Google official help content mainly covers OCR and PDF analysis workflows, but it does not provide an official PDF deskew editing flow for Google Docs or Drive. | Notion official help supports importing PDFs into pages, but it does not provide scanned-PDF deskew editing tools. | Adobe official help community content shows deskew-related workflows through Scan & OCR, Enhance, or Recognize Text for scanned documents. |
| Official Source | — | Features available for PDFs in OneDrive in Web and mobiles/iPads | Supported file types | Import data into Notion | How do I deskew scanned documents? |
Advantage: offers a direct scanned-document entry point for correction inside WPS PDF, with both automatic correction and manual fine-tuning.
Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to correct skewed scanned pages directly inside WPS PDF, WPS provides a more direct workflow for this task. If you only need page rotation, PDF import, or a broader OCR-oriented process, the official tools from other products may also fit specific scenarios.
Use Cases

| 2 | Digitizing paper materials | Teachers, students, researchers | Scanned handouts or materials are not aligned well | Use automatic correction to align page direction quickly |
| 3 | Fixing multi-page archives | Archive managers | Multi-page scans have inconsistent page alignment | Correct the document before saving it for archiving |
| 4 | Fine angle adjustment | Users who need precise layout control | Automatic correction still needs refinement | Enter manual mode and drag the slider to fine-tune the angle |
| 5 | Previewing before submission | Office users | Need to confirm the corrected result before saving | Review the live preview in manual mode before applying |
