Direct answer

To use rotate-pdf, start with a small representative input, change orientation while retaining the underlying content, and inspect the result before relying on it.

Key takeaways

  • Purpose: change orientation while retaining the underlying content.
  • Check: page count, page order, orientation, selectable text and annotations.
  • Limitation: encrypted files, signatures, forms and scans may behave differently.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming the output is correct because the operation completed. Instead, inspect page count, page order, orientation, selectable text and annotations.
  • Using production or confidential material as the first test. Use a three-page project brief and a two-page appendix instead.
  • Ignoring compatibility: encrypted files, signatures, forms and scans may behave differently.
