How to rotate a PDF and save it
Short answer
Open the free Rotate PDF tool, drop the file, rotate all pages or only the ones that are sideways, then download. The rotation is saved in the PDF, so it opens the right way everywhere.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my PDF look rotated in one app but not another?
Some viewers rotate the display only. Saving the rotation in the file, as these methods do, fixes it everywhere.
Can I rotate only one page?
Yes. Use the per-page rotate buttons in the tool.
Does rotating reduce quality?
No. Nothing is re-compressed.
