Why use this one

What you get

The rotation sticks

Unlike turning a page in a viewer, this is saved into the file — it looks right for whoever opens it next.

Mixed documents handled

Rotate only pages 4, 7 and 9 if those are the ones that came in sideways.

Adds to existing rotation

A page already turned 90° and rotated another 90° ends up at 180°, which is what you'd expect.

Questions

Common questions

Why does my viewer show the page correctly but it prints sideways?

Most viewers let you turn a page on screen without saving it. That's a view setting, not a document change. Rotating here writes the angle into the file so it prints and shares correctly.

Can I rotate only the landscape pages?

Yes, by listing their page numbers. There's no automatic orientation detection — it too often gets landscape tables wrong.

Does rotating reduce quality?

No. Rotation is recorded as a property of the page. No pixels are touched.

What does 270 degrees mean here?

The same as turning a page a quarter turn to the left. It's listed as 90° left for clarity.

Can I rotate a password-protected file?

Not while it carries one. Encrypted content cannot be modified by any tool until the password is removed, which has to be done in your PDF reader.
