Convert landscape PDF pages to portrait orientation. Fix mixed-orientation documents for consistent reading.
A document with mixed portrait and landscape pages is awkward to read and print. When landscape pages appear in a predominantly portrait document, they need to be rotated to match.
Select the landscape pages and rotate them 90° to portrait orientation. The content is unchanged — just the display orientation is corrected.
Easily rotate all pages in your PDF left or right instantly.

Landscape to portrait rotation changes the display orientation of landscape pages to portrait. The page's /Rotate metadata is updated so viewers display the page in portrait orientation. The page content is unchanged — the same text and images are visible, just oriented vertically instead of horizontally.
Use cases include:
Fixing scanned documents where pages were placed horizontally.
Correcting PDFs with unintentional landscape pages.
Standardizing a document to all-portrait orientation.
Fixing a PDF where some pages are sideways.
Correcting orientation before printing a document.
Landscape to portrait conversion standardizes document orientation for reading and printing.

Orientation in PDFs is controlled by page dimensions and rotation metadata.
A page is landscape when its width is greater than its height. Portrait when height is greater than width.
Rotation metadata (/Rotate) can make a portrait-dimensioned page display as landscape and vice versa.
Converting landscape to portrait either changes the /Rotate value or swaps the page dimensions, depending on the source of the orientation.
