Rotating Pages

PDF Studio can rotate multiple pages of a document at once. This is useful if the document was scanned upside down or is currently being displayed in the wrong direction. Pages can only be rotated in 90 degree increments.

Note: Rotating Pages is different then Rotating Page View in that it is not temporary and the changes made using this tool will permanently rotate the pages within the document when saved.

Using the Menu

Select the Pages Tab > Rotate on the toolbar or use the shortcut key Ctrl + Shift + R (⌘ + Shift + R on Mac) to rotate pages in the current document.  Save the document to save the rotation of the pages.

Rotating Page Options

Direction - The direction and amount to rotate the pages

• Clockwise 90 degrees: Rotates the pages 90 degrees (1/4 turn) to the right
• 180 degrees: rotates the pages 180 degrees
• Counterclockwise 90 degrees: Rotates the pages 90 degrees (1/4 turn) to the left

Page Range - The range of pages to be rotated

• All Pages: all pages in the document
• Page Range: set the pages to be rotated using the From and To options
• Even Pages Only: only the even pages
• Odd Pages Only: only the odd pages

Using the Page Thumbnails

Using the Page Rotation Buttons

1. In the page thumbnails pane select either a single or group of the pages you wish to rotate
2. At the top of the thumbnails pane click on one of the icons to rotate the page

Rotate Clockwise: Rotates the pages 90 degrees (1/4 turn) to the right

Using the Right Click Menu

1. In the page thumbnails pane select either a single or group of the pages you wish to rotate
2. Right click (Mac: Ctrl+Click) on any of the selected pages and then highlight "Rotate Pages". You will have the following 3 options available
   • Clockwise 90 degrees: Rotates the pages 90 degrees (1/4 turn) to the right
   • 180 degrees: rotates the pages 180 degrees
   • Counterclockwise 90 degrees: Rotates the pages 90 degrees (1/4 turn) to the left
3. Click on the option you want to rotate the selected pages

Note: This will update the rotation property for the pages rotated in the document itself and the rotation will be saved when the document is saved. To rotate pages temporarily in the current view only, use the Rotate Clockwise and Rotate Counterclockwise buttons on the Toolbar or in the View menu.
