About This Tool
Rotate PDF changes the page rotation value for selected pages or the whole document, correcting sideways or upside-down pages without recreating their visible content.

Practical Use Cases
Scanner correction
Fix sheets captured sideways during batch scanning.
Presentation cleanup
Standardize mixed page orientations before sharing.
Privacy and File Processing
Rotate PDF keeps its PDF input in browser memory while the operation runs. The workflow creates PDF for local preview or download and does not send the entered values or selected file bytes to the GXA Toolbox application server.

How It Works
The PDF writer changes the selected pages’ rotation in 90-degree increments and saves a new document without deliberately rasterizing the page artwork.
Limitations and Important Notes
- Rotation changes page orientation metadata rather than reflowing content.
- Existing signatures may be invalidated by modification.
- Password-protected PDFs may require unlocking first.
Worked Example
Select pages 4 and 11 in a scanned report and rotate each 180° while leaving the other pages unchanged.
Helpful Tips
- Preview selected pages before export.
- Use Organize PDF when rotation is part of a larger reordering task.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rotate one page?
Yes. Apply rotation to the selected page rather than all pages.
Does rotation lower quality?
The page content is not deliberately rasterized.
Can pages have different rotations?
Use page selection to correct the relevant pages individually.
