Why Do Scanned PDFs Get Orientation Glitches?
Automatic Document Feeders (ADFs) and smartphone scanner apps rely on internal orientation tags that are not always honored by PDF viewer software.
Rotating an upside-down page in a simple viewer only changes your temporary display—it does not permanently save the rotation into the PDF file header.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does rotating permanently alter the file?
Yes! The rotation degrees are written directly into the PDF specification, so it displays upright in every email reader and print preview.
Can I remove blank pages?
Yes, simply click the trash icon on any unwanted page card to exclude it from the final download.
