Useful for landscape pages that should be portrait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>90° counter-clockwise: Rotate left. Opposite of the above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>180°: Flip upside down.

For example, in a 20-page scanned book, pages 3 and 7 might need clockwise rotation while all others are correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yozzytools lets you select individual pages, page ranges, or use patterns like \"all odd pages\" or \"every 5th page\" for batch rotation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Rotate During Merge\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>When merging multiple PDFs together, some source files may have pages in different orientations.
