Rotate PDF batches when the office feeder flips pages sideways

Department scanners and cheap sheet feeders often save every other page ninety degrees off, especially when someone mixes letterhead with receipts. Reading sideways PDFs on phones drains patience; printing them wastes margins and skews signatures. A disciplined rotate-and-verify loop saves more time than re-scanning the entire stack.

Uniform correction first

If every page needs the same quarter turn, apply one rotation value to the whole export, then spot-check the first and last page in a viewer that honors rotation metadata. Some preview apps cache thumbnails—fully close and reopen the file before declaring victory.

Mixed orientations need segmentation

When only pages 8-11 are landscape inserts, split those ranges first, rotate separately, and merge back with Merge PDF so you never rotate correct pages by mistake.

Quick QA after rotation

Skim one dense text page and one page with stamps or signatures—rotation metadata renders differently across viewers. If you plan to print, run a single-page test before batch printing.
