Frequently Asked Questions
Why do scanned PDFs sometimes open sideways or upside down?
Scanners and mobile scanner apps often feed pages horizontally or misinterpret orientation sensors, saving pages with incorrect rotation angles. This tool updates the document's internal rotation tag so the PDF opens correctly across all devices.
Does rotating a PDF page reduce its text clarity or image quality?
No. Rotating a PDF alters the internal `/Rotate` metadata dictionary attribute (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) without re-encoding or rasterizing the underlying content stream. Text and images remain 100% vector-sharp.
Can I rotate only specific pages (like landscape tables) in a portrait document?
Yes. You can click on individual page thumbnails to rotate only the specific landscape pages (such as financial balance sheets or wide charts) while leaving the rest of the document in portrait orientation.
Are my uploaded PDFs stored or logged anywhere?
No. All PDF manipulation runs entirely on your local CPU via client-side JavaScript. No document data is transmitted over the network.
