# Automatically rotate pages of a multipage TIFF file using OCR and C#

This example shows how to automatically rotate pages of a multipage TIFF file with help of the OCR Tesseract engine method. After the successful rotation of all pages, the source file is saved to the destination file.

			System.IO.File.Copy(filepath, destpath);

	  gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);
   }
