Rotate Entire Document 90 Degrees

My outsource printer requires that all spreads in my document be rotated 90 d. ccl. I can rotate individual spreads, but this is tedious. Wondering if there is a shortcut for rotating the entire document, either in the edit mode or while exporting to PDF. Have searched in both areas, so far without success.

With thanks in advance,

This is a giant red flag that tells me it’s time to find a new printer.

Rotating the pages in a PDF takes second using pages panel in Acrobat. If they can’t handle that, I wouldn’t trust them to do anything.

Thanks for that information. So, InDesign is unable to rotate a document?

What app is? Other than artboard-based ones like Photoshop and Illustrator? I can't think of a single page-layout, publishing or even word processing tool that can rotate the document contents globally.

What, you're going to type sideways? Such things are for output — which in the case of ID docs, means "in Acrobat."

Hi Jack,

I agree with Bob here. Rotating the pages in a PDF is a simple step and the printer should be able to do it easily. If they are not doing it, you should be checking a new one.
