How to use it
- Choose a PDF or load the four-page synthetic example with an already rotated page and an offset crop.
- Enter physical page numbers or ranges, such as 1-3, 5. Leave the selection blank to rotate all pages.
- Choose a clockwise turn of 90°, 180° or 270°. Check the intended source pages in the preview.
- Rotate and create the PDF. Review the actual exported first page, download rotated.pdf and check any other changed pages in your reader.
A source with page rotations 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° becomes 90°, 180°, 180° and 270° when pages 1 and 2 receive a 90° turn. Existing text and form values remain part of the document.

Does rotating a PDF turn it into page images?
No. The original page rotation is changed without rasterising the document. Selectable text, vector paths, supported annotations, form fields, bookmarks and page labels remain in the file. Your source file is not overwritten. Check the saved output in the reader that will be used for viewing or printing.
