These PDF rotate options let you turn a file left or right in 90-degree increments. That way it’s easy to change PDFs that are sitting sideways. Click on the right or left rotate arrow until your document is completely vertical. In the case of a PDF that’s upside-down, you’ll need to use a rotate arrow twice.

How To Permanently Rotate a PDF in Adobe Acrobat

Adobe Acrobat has several ways to rotate PDF files. The tools in Adobe Acrobat DC are pretty simple, but you need a paid subscription to access them. To rotate PDF in Adobe on a smartphone, you may want to install the free Acrobat Reader mobile app instead. The downside is you have to download and install Acrobat on each device, which can take time. If you work at a company, you may need to ask for permission before installing anything on your computer or mobile. Once you have Acrobat open, go to Tools > Organize Pages. Choose the pages you want, such as Even Pages, Odd Pages or all Landscape Pages in the document. Next, select the rotate clockwise or counterclockwise arrows. When you’re happy, click Save.
