By definition, rotation is a movement in circles. It is synonymous with spinning, revolving, turning, whirling or circling. Rotating PDF pages in layman’s terms simply means to turn the page to make it right side up. Rotation is changed by the angles and the degree of which the document will turn. In PDF editors, when pages are rotated, the paper is moved by 90° on each turn.
In our previous articles, we’ve defined what layout orientations are and where these terms came from. We learned that there are two types of orientations that you can achieve by rotating a page – landscape and portrait. The first term is viewing a page horizontally while the second term is viewing it vertically. There are no right or wrong orientations since there are specific needs for specific layouts.
