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
