After newest pdf viewer update now one cannot even rotate the view in the free version - how stupid is that? 

Every update was making ivewer havier and havier, without any benefits of that. Now they want me to pay monthly fee just so I could sotate the view - are they completely crazy???  For the first time in my life I've searched for alternatvie pdf viewers (there is a bunch out there) downloaded one, and I'm super happy - much lighter, much faster and without stupid intentions to charge me for being able to rotate the view - from now on I will NEVER use adobe again - it became complete crap.

Adobe changed how the right-click command works without letting anyone know about it, but if you use the Rotate command via the View menu it will still work. Actually rotating the pages requires the paid-for version; Rotating the page view was and remains available in the free version.

Update your reader and try again – yes it could, until today. Yet since now rotation is available with paid version only

Rotate pages are not the same as rotate view.

In Acrobat Reader use the menu View > Rotate View > ...
