How to rotate a PDF

Step 1

Open your PDF

Every page loads with whatever rotation it already has.

Step 2

Choose the angle

90 degrees either way, or 180 for pages scanned upside down.

Step 3

Choose the pages

Leave the box blank to rotate everything, or list only the pages that are wrong.

What it handles

What rotation handles

01

Any angle

90 degrees either way, or 180 for pages scanned upside down.

02

Some or all

Leave the page box blank to rotate everything, or list the pages that are wrong.

03

Cumulative

Rotation adds to whatever the page already had, so running it twice gives 180.

04

Lossless

Rotation is a property of the page, not a re-render. Nothing is degraded.

Why a rotated page can still print wrong

Rotation is a property stored on the page rather than a redraw, which explains both its advantages and its one quirk.

Nothing is re-rendered

Because rotation is a flag, text stays selectable and images keep their quality. It is instant even on a long document.

Some printers ignore the flag

If a page looks right on screen but prints sideways, the printer driver is applying its own orientation. Try printing from a different reader, or check the driver settings, before rotating again.

Rotation is cumulative

Running 90 degrees twice gives 180. If a page ends up further out than it started, rotate the other way rather than repeating.

Mixed orientations

A document with some landscape and some portrait pages needs the page numbers listed, since there is no automatic detection yet.

Questions

Will this re-render my pages?

No. Rotation is stored as a page property, so text stays selectable and image quality is untouched.

The page looks rotated but prints wrong. Why?

Some viewers ignore the rotation flag when printing. Try printing from a different reader, or check the printer driver is not applying its own rotation.

Can I rotate just the landscape pages?

Not automatically yet. List their page numbers in the pages box.
