Tips for a clean rotation
- Rotation adds up. If a page is already turned, the angle you choose is added on top of its current rotation, not set from scratch.
- Mixed orientations in one document? Use "Chosen pages" to fix only the pages that need it, leaving the rest as they are.
- Combining files with different orientations? Rotate each one first, then use Merge PDF to bring them together.
- Pages in the wrong order too? Rearrange Pages fixes sequence, not orientation.
