Open Tool →

Step-by-step

  1. Upload PDF and select scope (all/odd/even).
  2. Run normalize to reset rotation metadata to 0°.
  3. Download and verify orientation in your reader.

Practical tips

  • Use this as a baseline step before advanced rotation operations.
  • Test one sample file first when handling mixed scan batches.
  • Keep original file in case your downstream process expects old metadata.

Common issues

  • Orientation mismatch after normalize usually indicates source scan direction issues.
  • Selecting wrong scope may leave some pages unchanged.
