Take a look at my screenshots below. This first one shows the rotate page buttons while hovering in Acrobat Pro's Organize Pages tool. Do you see the same thing?

When selecting multiple pages, I use the Rotate Pages button shown below that will be in the toolbar:

Do you not see these features in your installation? If they are missing, there is a Repair Installation command under the Help menu that could maybe repair a faulty installation of Acrobat Pro DC.

Let us know what you see, or don't see if your screen shows different than my screenshots.

There are many opinions on the new interface, but (once you’ve found Organize Pages) the rotating pages stuff has t changed.

They didn’t change it significantly since 1.0!

I'm new to Creative Cloud... I've been on CS5.5 until about 3 months ago. The new acrobat User Interface is horrid in my opinion. Thanks for your help again!

The user interface is different. But when you get used to it, some operations are easyer to perform.

Action: "Organize Pages"

Hover over the page that you want to rotate.

Ctrl + S to save.

Sounds as if you have the free Reader. Understand that Acrobat Pro is not free. Read the reply carefully, it tells you one thing for Reader, and another thing for Pro.

You could also try answering my questions, which I asked so I could give you better, more accurate, advice, and not waste your time.

If you are using Reader to open your PDF docs, you can not rotate pages. You can only rotate your view. Think of this as a book sitting on a 'lazy susan'. You can spin it around to look at it in any way, but it doesn't change the book at all. See screenshot below.

If you are using Acrobat Pro to view your PDFs, you can select rotate any page or page range from the Pages panel. Once rotated (and saved) the change is made to the file itself. See screenshot below.
