Scanned docs
Rotate scanned PDF pages
Scanned PDFs often come out sideways or upside down depending on how the document was fed into the scanner or photographed with a phone. Load the PDF, click the thumbnails of the pages that need correcting, and rotate each one to the right orientation before downloading.

Frequently asked questions
Why are my scanned pages sideways?
Scanners feed pages in a fixed direction regardless of how the document is oriented, so landscape originals often produce sideways PDFs. Phone photos depend on device orientation at the time of capture.
Can I rotate pages in a mixed-orientation document?
Yes. Each page is rotated independently, so you can fix only the pages that need correcting while leaving portrait pages unchanged.
Does rotation affect text recognition or OCR layers?
No. Rotation adjusts the visual orientation without altering any embedded text or OCR data.
