Does rotation re-OCR my file?

No — it changes page orientation metadata and draws; searchable text layers usually remain intact unless the viewer re-recognizes.

Can I rotate just one inserted upside-down scan?

Select specific page numbers or ranges so the rest of the binder stays unchanged.

PDF viewers expect orthogonal rotations for compatibility; arbitrary angles require rasterizing pages and grow file size.

Will form fields move correctly?

Most annotations rotate with the page; always test a signed or filled form in your target viewer.

Rotation is handled in-browser like other pdf tools in this suite.

Does file size change?

Slight changes can occur when viewers re-wrap content, but typically size stays close to the original.

Keep an unrotated backup; merge or re-export if a collaborator needs the old orientation.

What about password PDFs?

Unlock with the document password first, then apply rotation.
