Key Capabilities
Local Execution

- •Use the Rotate All button to quickly orient documents scanned in landscape.
- •Some viewers remember local viewing rotation; saving here applies a permanent document-level rotation.
Metadata-Level Page Rotation & Geometry Alignment
Instantaneous Metadata Modification
Rotating pages alters only the /Rotate entry in the page dictionary. Because no graphical recalculation or image re-encoding is performed, processing completes near-instantaneously.
Cumulative Angle Normalization
Documents with pre-existing rotation flags are normalized correctly. Adding 90° to a page previously rotated by 270° calculates to 0° rather than producing malformed rotation values.
Selective vs Global Rotation
Rotate all pages uniformly (ideal for landscape scanner batches) or target specific odd/even pages to fix upside-down scanned pages.
- •Rotated pages retain their original MediaBox and CropBox coordinate boundaries.
- •Compatible with standard PDF readers including Adobe Acrobat, Apple Preview, and mobile viewers.
- •No quality loss or file size expansion occurs during rotation.
