Fix a rotated PDF scan before sharing it
Why correcting page orientation saves time for everyone who reads the file later.
Fix orientation first
Rotation should be handled before compression, sharing or image export.
Review page by page
Some documents mix portrait and landscape pages and require a finer review.
Finish the rest after
Once orientation is correct, the rest of the workflow becomes smoother.
Frequently asked questions
Why not leave rotation to the PDF reader?
Because not every recipient uses the same viewer.
Can I rotate the whole document?
Yes, but only if every page has the same issue.
