Preview (macOS)

How to rotate PDF files

Do you own a Mac and want to understand how to rotate PDF files? Contact Preview and that's it. I'm talking about the utility available “standard” on macOS thanks to which it is possible to view and make small changes to images and, in fact, documents in PDF format.

To use it, first of all locate the document stored on your Mac on which you intend to go to act and click on it twice consecutively in order to view its contents through Preview.


Now that you see the document open on your desktop, locate the button Wheel (the one depicting a rectangle with an arrow) in the upper part of the Preview window and click on it until the PDF document reaches the correct orientation. Alternatively, if you are a lover of keyboard shortcuts you can use the key combination cmd+L to rotate the PDF file to the left e cmd+to rotate the document to the right.

Please note that if you are using Apple's Magic Trackpad instead of the mouse, you can rotate PDF files using a very simple gesture. To do this, place two fingers on the Magic Trackpad and move them clockwise or counterclockwise depending on the orientation you want to apply to the file. Convenient, right?

With the procedure I just indicated you can change the orientation of a single page of the PDF, the one in the foreground. If, on the other hand, you are interested in rotating all the pages of the document at the same time, you have to click on the button Vista located in the upper left part of the menu bar and select the item Miniature give the menu to compare.

Then select the thumbnails of all the pages of the document using the cursor or the combination of keys cmd + A and apply the rotation to the PDF by selecting the items Turn left e Rotate to the right from the menu Instruments.

Finally, save the changes made to the document by simply closing the Preview window. Alternatively, click on the item Fillet attached in the upper left part of the menu bar and then select the item Save to save the changes made to the file.
