How To: Adobe Acrobat: Rotate Pages and Save Them

We received a document that was scanned into PDF upside down.

When we saved the PDF into our SharePoint site and opened it we then went to View –> Rotate View –> Clockwise. We then saved the PDF and re-opened it. But the pages were upside down when we opened it.

After some searching we came up with the following method for Acrobat X:

1. Open the PDF document.
2. Click on Tools
• 
3. Click on Pages to open its menu.
4. Click on Rotate.
• 
5. Set the Direction for the rotation and click OK.
• 
6. Save the PDF.
7. Close it then re-open it.

The pages will now display correctly.

Hat Tip: AcrobatUsers.com Save rotated page.
