Rotating a PDF

I have saved a PDF to my local drive on my iPad Pro 5, my Google Drive and my Cloud account and I can’t figure out how to rotate it to read in landscape?

iPad Pro, 14

Hi Ptg5151,


Yes, you'll need to open the PDF within an app that supports rotation. Currently, this is not offered in the Pages app. There may be some good third-party app options within the App Store for this. We'd recommend selecting one that will allow you to rotate single pages and not all pages within the PDF (unless that's what you need to do here).


Alternatively, you could use rotation lock to lock the screen in landscape mode so you can read the PDF: Change or lock the screen orientation on iPad


Wishing you well, cheers.
