How to Rotate PDF Pages and Save Them Permanently (Free)

You scan a document and some pages come out sideways or upside down. Turning your phone every time you read the file is annoying, and it looks unprofessional if you send it to someone like that.

The fix is to rotate the PDF pages and save the file, so it opens the right way up for everyone.

When do you need to rotate a PDF?

• Scanned pages came out sideways or upside down
• Photos of documents were taken in landscape and added as pages
• A form or application needs all pages in the same direction
• A file looks wrong on your computer but fine on another device
