How to Rotate PDF Pages and Save Them Permanently

The Scan Orientation Dilemma

When scanning sheets of paper using sheet feeders, pages occasionally end up rotated sideways or completely upside-down. Reading these documents is frustrating, and sending them to clients looks unprofessional.

Rotating Pages Visually and Permanently

Many readers allow you to temporarily rotate your view, but the next time you open the document, it resets to the old orientation. To save the rotation permanently, you must modify the internal page rotation property inside the PDF structure.
