# pdf90(1)

rotate the pages of pdf files

## NAME

pdf90 - rotate the pages of pdf files

## SYNOPSIS

pdf90 \[OPTION \[OPTION\] ...\] \[SRC \[PAGESPEC\] \[SRC \[PAGESPEC\]\] ...\]

## DESCRIPTION

pdf90 rotates the pages of files in the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) through 90 degrees (anti-clockwise).

If no source PDF file ('SRC') is specified, input is from /dev/stdin. If 'PAGESPEC' is omitted, all pages are processed.

Source files are processed sequentially into a single output unless the '--batch' option is used, in which case they are processed  separately.

pdf90 operates on one or more PDF files, and (either with the '--batch'  option or with '--outfile DIR' where 'DIR' is a directory) the  resulting files have the suffix 'rotated90' applied to their names by default.  To change  the suffix, use the '--suffix' option, for example

**pdf90 --suffix '-turned' --batch myfile1.pdf myfile2.pdf**

will result in files named 'myfile1-turned.pdf' and 'myfile2-turned.pdf'.

pdf90 is a simple wrapper for pdfjam, which is a front end to many of the capabilities of the pdfpages package for pdflatex.  A working installation of pdflatex with the pdfpages package is required.

pdf90 is part of the "PDFjam" package of tools, whose homepage is at http://go.warwick.ac.uk/pdfjam.
