How to rotate Pages with PDF Agile?

Having a PDF document with incorrectly oriented pages can be frustrating. Luckily, PDF Agile offers a user-friendly solution to rotate pages and ensure proper display. Here's how to achieve this:

Step 1: Opening the PDF Document

Firstly, launch the PDF Agile application. Thereafter, click on "File" and then "Open" from the menu bar. Once locate the PDF document you want to edit in the file explorer window, then select the file and click "Open."

Step 2: Applying the Rotation

Click the "Page" tab on the top of the interface, all pages of pdf documents become thumbnails. There are two primary ways to select pages for rotation in PDF Agile:

Individual Pages: Locate the page thumbnails in the left-hand pane of the PDF Agile interface. Click on the thumbnail of the specific page you want to rotate.

Page Range: If you need to rotate multiple consecutive pages, hold down the "Shift" key on your keyboard and click on the thumbnails of the first and last page in the desired range. All pages between will be selected for rotation.

Once you've selected the pages, look for the "Rotate" options in the main toolbar of PDF Agile. You'll typically find two rotation buttons: Rotate Left: This button rotates the selected pages clockwise by 90 degrees. Rotate Right: This button rotates the selected pages counter-clockwise by 90 degrees. PDF Agile will instantly rotate the selected pages according to your selection.
