How to Rotate a PDF
The trap first: your PDF viewer's rotate button is temporary — close the file and the sideways pages return. Permanent rotation writes into the file itself. Here is how, including per-page fixes.

Viewer rotation vs. real rotation
View → Rotate in a reader changes your current session only — the file is untouched, and every recipient still gets sideways pages. Real rotation (this tool) modifies the pages, fixing the document for everyone, forever.
The method
Upload to Rotate PDF, choose the angle (90° right/left, 180°) and scope (all pages or selected ones), download — the orientation is now part of the file. Free with fair daily limits.
Choosing angle and scope
Sideways text: 90° in the direction the text tops point. Upside down: 180°. One bad page in a good document: rotate just it. Duplex scans with inverted backs: 180° on the even pages. Files are processed temporarily and deleted automatically — there is no general cloud storage.
