PDF Rotator

PDF Rotator is a feather-light application designed to rotate pages inside PDF documents with as little effort as possible. It can be used to arranged collections with ebooks in PDF format, for example.

The tool's not wrapped in a setup kit. Instead, you can copy the downloaded files to a preferred directory on the disk or keep them stored on a USB flash drive, in order to directly launch it on any computer.

It doesn't add new entries to the system registry or create files on the disk without your permission. Just keep in mind that .NET Framework and Adobe Acrobat must be installed to get this app up and running.

When it comes to the interface, PDF Rotator opts for a standard window with a minimalistic appearance, which gives you an overview of all options available.

PDF items can be added to the task list via drag-and-drop support. Batch processing is possible, so you can rotate the pages of multiple PDF documents at the same time.

The task list shows the name, extension and status of each file. Separate settings can be made for odd and even pages. It's possible to change the page orientation by 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise, 180 degrees, reset it to 0 degrees, as well as leave the odd or even pages untouched.

Modifications are applied with the click of a button. The utility doesn't show a notification message to let you know whether the task was successful or not. This is indicated in the list. Worth noting is that the application doesn't create new files, but modifies the original ones instead, so you might be interested in creating backups prior to this step.

It didn't put a strain on the computer's performance in our tests, since it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly. The software program remained stable throughout its runtime, without hanging, crashing or prompting errors.

On the other hand, the app features a pretty light of options and doesn't make room for customization. Nevertheless, PDF Rotator offers a simple solution for rotating PDF pages, and it can be easily handled by anyone.
