Let's be fair though. Adobe changes the Acrobat interface every two weeks for no reason. PDF has always been an absolute shitshow, super slow, walled garden format. After like 30 years it's still a 30 step process to add a note box with an arrow that looks half decent

I am what you would call a boomer. But I do not only know how to rotate a PDF, I also know how to generate one from a number of sources with software I have written...

I actually thought I am part of this blessed generation that can use a computer. But rotating a PDF? That beats me.

Edit: In Okular it's actually easy to find this function. I was never looking for this for my whole life.

i disagree. Training boomers is easier because they know what computers are. Zoomers often see computers as "web browsing machines" or "gaming machines"

Is there some magic to rotating a PDF? I just opened one and there's a button in Firefox saying "Rotate clockwise" and "Rotate anticlockwise". Are we talking something rotating and then saving the PDF so it stays rotated or just rotating it after it's already loaded? Or is this about rotating the PDF so it can be printed out?
