Sharing and starting over

A copied link includes what you entered and your settings, so anyone with it can see them. Leave private text out. Files and results are not included; random draws are made again.

How to rotate PDF pages

Choose the PDF, the turn and the pages. A quarter turn clockwise fixes a page scanned lying on its left side; leave the pages box empty to turn every page, or type pages such as 2, 5-7.

The turn is saved in the file the way PDF readers expect, so the page content is not redrawn or compressed again and nothing is lost.

Worked example

In a 6-page scan where pages 2 and 5 came out sideways, turning pages 2, 5 a quarter turn clockwise leaves the other four as they were.
