Bulk rotation for multiple files

Add several PDF files at once and rotate them all in a single run, saving time when processing large batches of documents.

Rotate all, even or odd pages

Permanently rotate every page, or apply the rotation only to even or odd pages, handy when you need to fix pages that came out upside-down from a double-sided scan.

Rotate a specific page range

Rotate only the pages you need, for example just the last 10 pages of a long document, using flexible page ranges like 2-13,17 or an open-ended range such as 20-.
