Does rotating reduce the quality of the page?

No. Rotation changes a page attribute, it does not re-render or re-compress the content, so text stays crisp and scans keep their original pixels.

Can I rotate every page by an arbitrary angle, like 45°?

Rotation is offered in quarter turns, which is what documents need. A 45° skew is a deskew problem, not a page rotation, and is not what this tool does.

Why do my scanned pages come out upside down in the first place?

Most scanner drivers write a rotation flag that some PDF readers ignore. Rotating the page here rewrites the flag so every reader agrees.

About Rotate PDF Pages

Rotate PDF pages 90°, 180° or 270° — all of them at once or only the ranges that came out of the scanner sideways. The rotation is written into the page itself, so the file prints and opens the right way up everywhere, not just on your screen.

Fixing the pages a scanner turned sideways before the document goes to anyone else.
