Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rotate specific pages instead of the entire PDF?
Yes, you can select individual pages or page ranges to rotate while leaving others unchanged. Use the page selector to choose which pages need rotation - perfect for documents where only some pages are incorrectly oriented.
What rotation angles are available?
You can rotate pages by 90°, 180°, or 270° (clockwise). These cover all common scenarios: 90° for landscape-to-portrait, 180° for upside-down documents, and 270° for portrait-to-landscape orientation. Multiple rotations can be applied for precise positioning.
Will rotating affect image quality or file size?
No, rotation is a lossless operation that maintains original image quality and resolution. The file size remains virtually the same since we're only changing the page orientation metadata, not reprocessing or compressing the content.
Can I rotate password-protected PDFs?
No, password-protected PDFs must be unlocked before rotation. Use our PDF password remover tool first to remove protection, then rotate your pages. This security measure ensures only authorized users can modify protected documents.
How do I know which direction to rotate my PDF?
Look at the text orientation: if text reads from bottom to top, rotate 90° clockwise. If everything is upside down, use 180°. If text reads from top to bottom, use 270°. The preview feature lets you see the result before applying the rotation.
What happens to bookmarks and links after rotation?
Internal bookmarks and navigation links are preserved and automatically adjusted to account for the new page orientation. External links remain functional. However, the visual positioning of clickable areas may need manual adjustment for complex interactive PDFs.
