Fix upside down PDF pages automatically
On digital pages, the tool reads the direction of the text. On scanned pages, it uses Tesseract orientation detection to work out which way is up. Pages that are sideways or upside down are turned upright, and the rest are left alone.
You get a list of the pages that were rotated.
When to rotate by hand
Pages with little or no text give the detector nothing to go on, such as photos or blank sheets. For those, or to turn a page on purpose, use Rotate PDF and pick pages yourself. The guide to rotating a PDF and saving it covers both ways. After fixing a scan, OCR PDF makes its text searchable.
