When to use Rotate PDF
The classic fix for a scan that came out sideways or upside down. Rotating in a PDF reader usually only changes the view; this writes the rotation into the file, so it stays fixed for everyone who opens it. You can rotate individual pages independently, which matters for mixed-orientation scans.

Troubleshooting
The rotation looks doubled
Each page is re-read from the source for every export, so rotations do not compound. If it looks doubled, the source page already carried a rotation flag.
Rotation does not stick in your reader
Make sure you downloaded the exported file rather than rotating the view in your PDF reader.
The upload is rejected before anything happens
The file is over the 20 MB cap. Compress it first, or split a long PDF into smaller files and process them separately.
