Frequently asked questions
Does this permanently fix the rotation, or just how it looks in my viewer?
It's permanent. The rotation is written into each page's own data, so it displays correctly in every viewer and when printed, not just in the tool.
Can I rotate just one page?
This tool applies one rotation to every page. To rotate only some pages, split them out first with Split PDF, rotate that smaller file, then merge it back in.
Does rotating reduce quality?
No — rotation just changes a display flag on each page. The underlying text and images are untouched.
