Frequently Asked Questions
Q1.Why do scanned PDFs often appear sideways or upside down?
Feeder scanners and smartphone document scanner apps frequently misdetect page orientation during batch scanning, causing landscape pages or upside-down receipts to be stored with improper orientation tags.
Q2.Is page rotation permanent in the output file?
Yes. Our engine modifies the internal /Rotate attribute in the PDF page object dictionary, ensuring that every PDF viewer, browser, and printer renders the corrected orientation permanently.
Q3.Does rotating PDF pages degrade text sharpness or re-compress images?
No. Rotating a PDF page changes numeric viewport metadata in the page dictionary. The underlying vector graphics, font descriptors, and image streams remain 100% untouched and original.
