Rotate PDF

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I rotate a PDF in Google Drive?

  Google Drive doesn’t offer a built-in way to rotate PDFs permanently, but fortunately, Lumin PDF is integrated with Google Drive. Just right-click the PDF file in your Drive, select Open with > Lumin PDF, then use the Page Tools to rotate specific pages or the entire file. Once you’re done, your changes will be saved directly back to your Drive.

• Can you save a PDF after rotating it?

  Absolutely. Lumin preserves all your rotation changes when you save or download your file. The rotated orientation becomes permanent in your saved PDF, so your document maintains proper alignment no matter where it's opened or who's viewing it.

• How do I rotate individual pages separately?

  Select the specific pages that need adjustment instead of rotating the entire document. Use our page selection controls to target problem pages while leaving the correctly oriented ones alone. It's precision control that saves time and prevents unnecessary changes to pages that are already perfect.

• How do I fix sideways or upside-down scanned pages?

  Scanning mishaps happen to everyone. Upload your PDF, spot the problem pages, select them, and rotate 90° left, 90° right, or flip 180° as needed. Our rotation tool is built specifically for fixing these common scanning errors, turning document disasters into professional files in seconds.

• Can I rotate multiple pages at once?

  Yes, select multiple pages or rotate your entire document in one go. This bulk rotation feature is perfect when several pages share the same orientation issue, saving you from the tedium of rotating pages one by one. Work smarter, not harder.

• How do I handle PDFs with mixed orientations?

  Navigate through your document, identify the pages that need fixing, select them individually or in groups, and apply the right rotation. This targeted approach means you only adjust what needs adjusting while keeping properly oriented content exactly as it is — precision where you need it, efficiency where you want it.

• Can I undo rotations if I make a mistake?

  If you make a mistake while rotating pages, simply repeat the rotation process to correct it. Click the rotate button again to continue rotating the page until it reaches the desired orientation. 
  
  Since each click rotates the page 90 degrees, you can easily fix any rotation errors by clicking the rotation button until the page is properly aligned. 

• Is it free to rotate a PDF? 

  Yes, Lumin PDF offers a free way to rotate PDFs, making it easy and efficient to update your files. It’s fully integrated with Google Drive, so you can rotate PDFs directly from your Drive without downloading anything.

  By creating a free Lumin account, you’ll unlock access to a full suite of PDF editing tools—including scanning PDFs, redacting sensitive information, and more.
