How to Rotate a pdf while viewing it in PDF Embed API

Like Clockwise, AntiClockwise or 180 degrees rotate.

sample example is given below:

Currently, page rotation is not an option in Embed API.

This is a major issue for my users; they're having to use the native Chrome PDF viewer instead, since they're reading scientific papers with many pages in landscape layout to accommodate large tables.

[Joel Geraci]

How are these PDF files getting created where the pages are not in the correct reading orientation prior to posting?

[Clayton.G]

It's ubiquitous in scientific publishing; they're optimizing for print, where a reader would turn the actual printed page to read the table. For a representative example, see Table 1 in https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-19814-6.pdf; often an entire page will be like that. When reading the article on screen, it's important to be able to rotate the page in the PDF reader.

[Joel Geraci]

Wow. That's pretty annoying. Modern PDF creation tools are smart enough to set the rotation on the page as the file is being created.

Anyway. Rotation is currently not a feature of Embed API but the engineering team has been delivering new features and APIs at a fairly steady clip. I wouldn't be surprised if rotation turned up at some point.

I am in need of this same functionality. 2023 and still not implemented =/

2023, still no rotation...

I have a lot of PDFs with scanned fitting instruction where text pages are in 'portrait' view, but some diagrams or large tables are in horizontal view, and theres no option to rotate it...

We deal with documents which have different orientation across pages, rotation is a very basic need for using the API

[Bruno293364179org]

I'm also looking to implement the API, but the lack of rotation functionality is also a problem for me.
I saw that since 2020 this feature has been requested. There is no prediction?

2024, and still no support for rotation? This is a fundamental feature needed in countless scenarios. I was considering using Adobe, but lacking this essential functionality is making me explore other viewer options.
