Quick Answer
What does the orientation detector report? It analyzes each page of your PDF and reports whether it is portrait or landscape, useful for identifying inconsistently oriented pages before printing or further processing.
Frequently Asked Questions
It reports the orientation (portrait or landscape) for each page in your PDF, highlighting pages with non-standard orientation compared to the document default.
Mixed-orientation PDFs are common when combining documents, scanning from multiple sources, or including wide tables and charts that were rotated to fit in landscape mode.
The detector identifies which pages need attention. Use the Rotate PDF tool to correct individual pages or the entire document after reviewing the orientation report.
The tool reads the official PDF page rotation metadata, not the visual appearance of content. Content may appear rotated inside a portrait page -- these cases are also flagged.
PDFs up to 500 pages are analyzed without issue. For larger documents, consider splitting first with the Split PDF tool and analyzing each section.
