Scanners and phone captures love producing sideways documents, and reading them tilted gets old immediately. Rotation here turns every page by 90 degrees in either direction or a full 180, changing only each page's rotation setting, so text remains selectable, quality remains original, and the file barely changes size. It is the smallest possible fix applied cleanly. The turn happens in your browser, and a wrongly-guessed direction is just another quick pass.
Questions
Does rotating degrade the pages?
No, nothing is re-rendered; the pages carry a rotation instruction and viewers obey it.
Can I rotate only certain pages?
The turn applies to the whole document here; for mixed orientations, extract the odd pages, rotate them, and merge back.
Is the file uploaded?
No, rotation is local and immediate.
