rotate web page

I'm trying to read a webpage that may or may not be in pdf format... it's hard to tell. The page I'm viewing is horizontally displayed, and I'd like to view it so I can read it without turning my head to the right. Any suggestions?

If the URL ends in .pdf, it is a page stored in portable document format. If you have installed Adobe Reader, it will be displayed in Safari as if it were another web page - using an Adobe Reader resource - by default.

You can rotate this image - after saving it locally as a pdf by pressing the floppy disk icon on the left end of the menu area of the page - in either Adobe Reader or Apple's Preview application.

The URL does not end in pdf. When I save the page, it says it as webarchive. I think what I'm looking for is where the rotate option is for Safari.

There is no 'Rotate' image option in Safari. And changing the orientation by using the Page Setup option will not accomplish what you want.

You can use the Print command to create a pdf in Preview [by selecting the Preview button in the Print dialog box] and then rotate that preview image using the Rotate Left or Rotate Right menu options under the Tools menu.
