Your scanner spat out a 20-page PDF where every page is rotated 90 degrees. Reading it is sideways torture.
Thirty seconds to fix.
0:00–0:10 — Open in Flint
Drag the PDF into Flint rotate. All pages display as thumbnails.
0:10–0:25 — Rotate all
Select all pages (or just the affected ones). Click rotate clockwise (or counter-clockwise as needed). Every page rotates in one pass.
For mixed-orientation scanner output, rotate the affected pages individually — still under 30 seconds for a 20-page document.
0:25–0:30 — Download
Download the rotated PDF. Replace the original or save as `<original>_rotated.pdf`.
Readable PDF, 30 seconds of work.
FAQ
Can I prevent scanner rotation issues?
Sometimes — feeder orientation settings on most scanners. Worth a one-time setup if you scan often.
What about pages where rotation isn't obvious?
Preview each page in Flint before saving. The visual check catches any pages that the auto-rotation missed.
Does rotation affect text recognition?
After rotation, text appears upright. Some OCR tools re-process correctly; others need re-OCR. For most modern systems, rotation followed by re-save works.
Can I rotate individual pages within a document?
Yes — Flint lets you select individual pages and rotate them independently.
