Someone scanned your document sideways. Or you took a photo of a whiteboard and converted it to PDF — upside down. These things happen all the time. The good news: fixing page orientation takes 30 seconds, and you don't need to install anything.
Why PDF Pages End Up Rotated
- Scanner settings — auto-feed scanners often flip pages inconsistently
- Phone photos — your phone's orientation sensor gets confused with documents
- Mixed-orientation documents — some pages are landscape, others portrait
- Legacy files — old PDFs created with outdated software

FAQ
Does rotation affect PDF quality?
No. Rotation is a metadata change — the page content isn't re-rendered or compressed. Quality stays identical to the original.

Can I rotate specific pages only?
