Question 1

Do you upload my PDF to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Rendering the page thumbnails runs on your device with pdf.js, and saving the rotated PDF runs on your device with pdf-lib. Your file never leaves your browser.

Question 2

Can I rotate just some pages, or do I have to rotate everything?

Accepted Answer

Both. Click one or more page thumbnails to select them, then use the global 90°/180°/270° buttons — the rotation is applied only to your selection. With no pages selected, the same buttons rotate every page.

Question 3

Is rotation lossless?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Right-angle rotations (90°, 180°, 270°) only update each page’s rotation flag in the PDF — the underlying page content is not re-rendered, so there is zero quality loss and no file bloat.

Question 4

Which PDFs are supported?

Accepted Answer

Standard, unencrypted PDFs up to 100 MB. Password-protected PDFs cannot be read in the browser — remove the password with a desktop tool first, then come back to rotate.

Question 5

Does the tool preserve bookmarks, links, and form fields?

Accepted Answer

Page content, images, and rotation are preserved. Interactive form fields and outlines are kept as-is by pdf-lib in most cases, but complex documents (signed PDFs, XFA forms) are better rotated in a desktop editor.

Question 6

Can I rotate pages with the keyboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Focus the page grid, use the arrow keys to move between thumbnails, Space or Enter to select, L to rotate the focused page left, R to rotate right, and Ctrl+A to select every page.
