About PDF Rotation
PDF rotation changes the orientation of pages within a PDF document. This is particularly useful for fixing scanned documents or pages that were created in the wrong orientation.
Rotation Angles Explained
90° Clockwise
Rotates page to the right. Portrait → Landscape (right side up).
180° Flip
Flips page upside down. Fixes inverted documents.
90° Counterclockwise
Rotates page to the left. Landscape → Portrait (left side up).
Common Scenarios
- Scanned Pages: Scanner fed pages incorrectly, resulting in sideways text
- Mobile Scans: Phone was held in wrong orientation while scanning
- Mixed Orientations: Document has both portrait and landscape pages
- Inverted Documents: Pages were scanned upside down
- Printing Prep: Rotate pages for optimal printer orientation
Page Selection Tips
- Use "All pages" when entire document needs rotation
- Select specific pages when only certain pages are wrong
- Page numbers start from 1 (first page = 1)
- Ranges work like: 1-5 rotates pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
- Multiple selections: 1, 3, 5-10 rotates pages 1, 3, and 5 through 10
Best Practices
- Preview rotation before saving if tool provides preview
- Keep backup of original file before rotating
- Check all pages after rotation to ensure correct orientation
- Rotate once - multiple rotations can be confusing
- Use batch rotation for documents with consistent issues
Technical Notes
PDF rotation modifies the page's rotation metadata without re-rendering the content. This means:
- No quality loss - content is not reprocessed
- Fast operation - just metadata change
- File size remains the same
- All content (text, images, links) remains intact
