Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the rotation permanent or just a temporary view?
The rotation is 100% permanent. ToolNovus updates the internal /Rotate dictionary tag within the PDF structure. When saved, the document will open in the correct orientation in every PDF reader and print correctly.
Will rotating my PDF make the text or images blurry?
No. Rotating a PDF alters only the coordinate transformation matrix of the viewport. It does not re-encode or compress images, preserving 100% of the original vector sharpness.
Are my files stored or uploaded anywhere?
Never. The rotation logic executes entirely within your browser's local sandbox using JavaScript. No files or metadata are sent across the internet.
Can I rotate password-protected PDFs?
If a PDF has an open password, it must be unlocked before client-side manipulation. Standard PDFs with print permissions rotate immediately without restrictions.
