There is about one generation that can rotate a PDF, there will never be another. The knowledge dies with us :blubcatmemekou:

@stux I doubt, but the kids these days... man, many of them are a lot less tech savvy (except playing mobile games :blobcatchewwire: ) than our or previous generation that is for sure

@stux the next gen went all in on Notion and the likes. Not sure they ever need PDFs other than dealing with us Oldies.

@stux Delete it anyway. It's just playing at being a document. :)

@stux I think it was Peter Murray-Rust who described PDFs as "the finest method of destroying information known to mankind".

@stux but how *do* you rotate a PDF? Do you use a tool or do you append some rotation command to the file (never had to do this)

@haayman A lot of ways :blobcatgiggle: Most simple.. Many default software that opens PDF do have a a simple rotate function 😉 -> rotate-> save-> pie! 🥧

@stux decades ago i used to generate pdf's so i think it should also be possible to just append some text to the file to do the trick
