About Rotate Pages
Rotate Pages is useful when a PDF opens sideways, upside down, or with mixed page orientations. Instead of asking someone else to rotate their screen or printer settings, you can correct the pages inside the file itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rotate only selected pages?
Yes. The tool is designed for page-level adjustments, so you do not have to rotate the whole file if only some pages are wrong.
Should I rotate before or after merging files?
Usually it is easier to rotate after you confirm the final page order, but both workflows can work depending on the situation.
Will rotating affect image quality?
The goal is to preserve the page while adjusting its orientation. Rotation is a layout correction, not a quality reduction step.
