How can I change a landscape document to a portrait document in Acrobat?

[E. Bond]

I have downloaded a 32 page document that I want to open in Acrobat. However, it shows up in landscape mode, and I need it to be in portrait mode so I can read it. I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the orientation. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described you want to rotate the orientation of the PDF pages.

Assuming you have Adobe Acrobat DC, you may use the Tool - Organize Pages to change the orientation of the pages of the PDF. For more information, please check the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/using/manipulating-deleting-renumbering-pdf-pages.html#rotate_a_p...

Is it possible to rotate the page and the text?

[try67]

Yes. Search the Tools section for "rotate".

@try67 This rotates everything. I wanted to know if it was possible for the text to remain in the same orientation when rotated.

No. To do that you need to scale the pages, not rotate then.

Gee, thanks. And how is that accomplished? I can't find the command anywhere.

You can rotate pages in multiple ways. The easiest way to rotate all the pages in the file is via the Rotate Pages tools, under Tools - Organize Pages. You can also do it via the Pages panel, or even by right-clicking a page and selecting "Rotate Clockwise" (Shift+Ctrl+Plus).
