How To Permanently Rotate A PDF (2024)

Remember when you've pressed the rotate left/right button in a PDF? And then you've opened the file again and it wasn't rotated anymore...

No more of that! By the end of this post, you're going to leave with a PDF whose pages are on the right side.

Use our online & free PDF rotating tool to get your pages on track forever.

Without any further ado, let's get at it!

Why won't my PDF stay rotated?

Your PDF won't stay rotated because if you rotate the PDF every time you open it,  the pages will always come back to the side they were before.

Instead, use an online software to change the side of the pages.
