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?

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.

Hi ptg5151, you can now rotate PDF pages when using preview in the Files app on iPadOS 15.
Hello. I not using any app to edit the PDF. I was not aware you needed an app to rotate a document.
Hello Ptg5151,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Based on your post, you can't rotate a PDF on your iPad.
Which app are you using to edit the PDF? Are you using the Pages app or another third-party app?
Hoping to hear back, take care.
