About Rotate PDF

Rotation runs through pdftk, which writes the new orientation directly into each page's metadata rather than re-rendering the page — so there's no quality loss and no risk of the content shifting. That's the correct fix for PDFs that open sideways or upside-down, which happens constantly with phone-scanned documents, and with files merged from sources that were oriented differently. If pdftk isn't available on the server, the tool falls back to Ghostscript with page auto-rotation disabled, producing the same result through a different path.

The three options — 90° clockwise, 90° counter-clockwise, or 180° — are applied to every page in the document uniformly; there's no per-page selection in this tool's interface. If you only need to fix one page in an otherwise correctly oriented document — a single landscape chart dropped into a portrait report, say — use Organize PDF instead, which has an individual ↻ rotation button on each page thumbnail.
