Honestly I'm baffled...can't believe that there could be people around the world willing to pay 20 $ for an app like this which does just one trivial thing: ROTATE (???) one or more PDF pages in batch.

What's the purpose of doing that for 20 bucks? Big mystery!!

This is probably one of the most useless app I've ever seen here over the past monts or even years!!

Anyway here there's a FREE & PORTABLE version of the program:

Personally I prefer a FREE APP like "PDFill PDF Tools", which does much more than simply rotate Pdf pages.....

How about you dudes??

My 0.00000000000000000001 cents...

Follow-up message:

There is a difference.
So correction to my previous message.
This is a genuine Giveaway.

The Freeware version mentioned by Giovanni will imprint a big watermark at the top and bottom of every page in RED.
[PDF Rotator - Unregistered Version
If you want to remove the watermark, please register]

I have applied the Serial Key in the GOTD download to the Downloaded Free portable version - and it is successful in activating the software. So I now have the activated portable version. There is no more watermark on the output.

The rotated file will be in the same directory as the original. A new file will be created with the suffix "_Rotated". The original file will not be over-written.

I cannot believe they try to make you think such a feature normally should be paid for. Any pdf editor in the world can do this!

@5 This actually may be highly useful. When I ran a publishing production house we would scan documents in the thousands of pages.

We also did this for litigation discovery. There, under court order an employee's paper files were scanned in large batches and returned. The document files in both cases were often voluminous. Frequently, in order to fit a production scanner, landscape pages were placed into the hopper in portrait, in other cases the batches were placed into the scanner without regard to orientation.

At the time Adobe owned the patent for PDF and did not license it's creator software.

Acrobat is, and remains, a very cumbersome tool. There are many better ones out there now. But rotating pages is a PITA, it may require 5 or more clicks, meaning there isn't "a single click rotate and save."

When you need to review tens of thousands of pages for litigation and even 1% are not oriented correctly the effort (hourly cost of labor) is far greater than the cost of single click software.

As I no longer do production scanning or publishing, I do not have a need for this so will pass. But guys, recognize this is not a crowded field but it is a production shop tool. Its value may exist in the market, though the market may be limited.

In any industry, there are many useful little utility programs like this. I certainly would have dropped the dime when I needed it.
