What constitutes a "selection" when rotating pages

[silver.hunter]

I have a number of documents where I need to selectively rotate some pages. The most convenient way for me to do this is whilst adding bookmarks to the document. I assumed that if a page was visible on the screen, it was "selected", and having selected to rotate the "selected page" I found all of the pages in the document had been rotated. I solved the problem by opening the thumbnail view and clicking on the page to rotate in the thumbnails, but I find it very illogical that the page I am actually looking at is not considered to be the "selected" page.

Am I missing something?

Hi Silver.hunter,

As per the issue description mentioned above, you are facing issue when trying to rotate pages in a pdf, is that correct?

If a page in a pdf is selected while in page thumbnails mode, it will show the selection (1, 2 ) as seen in the screenshot below:

Viewing a page does not select it. You will need to click it in the Pages panel for it to be selected.

Use Tools > Organize Pages

There are two ways to rotate, with several methods to do either.

One is to rotate the view. You can do this from the View menu or by right-clicking (and more). All pages will rotate. If you save, close, and reopen, the rotated view will be gone.

The other is to rotate the page(s). You can do this in the Pages panel and in Organize pages, etc. Select the pages in the Pages panel or Organize pages, then rotate. The dialog also lets you choose odd, even, a range, etc.

I see new user confuse these two quite often. Are you rotating the page or the view?
