Advertisement1. Right-click on the PDF you want to open.
2. Click on "Open With" and select Preview.
3. To rotate the entire PDF, or more than just the current page, hold shift and select the specific pages you want to rotate from the sidebar. If you just want to rotate one page, you can skip this step.
4. To rotate your selection, click on the "Rotate" button in the top toolbar. Note that it will only rotate the image 90 degrees, so you will have to keep clicking on the Rotate button if you want to rotate it further.
5. You can also rotate your PDF left or right by clicking on Tools in the menu bar, and choosing a specific direction.
6. Once it's rotated to the degree you want, click on File in the menu bar and save the PDF. It will be saved in its newly rotated alignment.
