Alright. Now, how about rotating pages inside your PDF files? This is a little bit weird actually in Acrobat. There's two separate commands for this. It's a little bit strange. You may have encountered this. This is quite odd. I'm going to head up to the View Menu to start off here inside Acrobat and there's a command here called Rotate View and I've got Rotate Clockwise and Rotate Counter-Clockwise. So if I choose Clockwise for example here, sure enough my page gets rotated here in a clockwise fashion. But if I start scrolling down, I realize that my entire document has been rotated in a clockwise fashion, if you will. So this is really quite strange. What if it was only one page that I wanted to rotate, not my entire PDF file. The other thing that's strange about this is as soon as I close out of the file and if I were to come back to it again tomorrow or something, everything would be rotated back to the way it was. So in other words, this Rotate View, it's just a view, it's just a display, that's all it is. It's a temporary rotation, if you will. So I'm going to undo this simply by rotating everything back around counter-clockwise; bring everything back here. Let's double check that everything's rotated back. Sure enough, it is. Now, what if I wanted to permanently rotate a page? Well, that's where my rotation command comes in underneath the Document Menu. So I'm going to head up to the Document Menu and then down to Rotate Pages. And I get this dialog box here. So this is the permanent rotation, if you will. So direction; Clockwise 90 Degrees, Counter-Clockwise 90 Degrees or 180. So I'm going to go with Clockwise here and my Page Range. Do I want to rotate All Pages or is there a specific Page Range that I want to rotate? Maybe for now I'll just rotate Pages 1 to 1. So my current page. Now, what's interesting here is what do I want to rotate? Even and Odd Pages? Even Pages Only or Only Odd-Numbered Pages? It's pretty cool stuff. Or even better, I could set it up so that any pages that are currently portrait, I could rotate around or I could rotate any landscape pages. Definitely cool stuff, especially if this is something that you're constantly doing. Maybe someone's sending you documents and you have to constantly rotate their pages. So definitely cool stuff here. Anyway, I'm going to leave the defaults here. I'm simply going to click on OK and sure enough, Page 1 gets rotated. The remaining document is still in a portrait rotation, if you will. And of course, that's a permanent change as soon as I save my file. So there it is. Pretty straightforward. Now, before I close this video out, I better rotate this guy back around here. So I'm going to go back to Document, back down to Rotate Pages, same story except I'm going to go Counter-Clockwise 90 Degrees, Page 1 to 1, looking good, click on OK and everything's back to normal. Alright. So there it is; the quirks, the oddities of rotating pages inside Acrobat.
