Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether to rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise?+
If the text reads upward (bottom to top), rotate 90° clockwise. If it reads downward (top to bottom), rotate 90° counter-clockwise.
Can I rotate all pages at once?+
Yes — leave the page selection blank or enter 'all' to apply the same rotation to every page.
Does this affect PDF/A compliance?+
Rotation does not affect content but may alter PDF/A conformance metadata. Run the PDF/A converter after rotating if compliance is required.
