How do I rotate a PDF in Google Drive?

Published in Google Drive 1 min read

You can rotate a PDF in Google Drive using the print preview function. Here's how:

  1. Right-click (or two-finger tap depending on your device) on the PDF file within Google Drive.
  2. Select "Preview". This will open the PDF in Google Drive's preview mode.
  3. Click the "Print" icon (it looks like a printer). This will open the print preview.
  4. In the print preview, look for a "Rotate" icon or button. Click it to rotate the PDF in 90-degree increments until it is oriented correctly.
  5. Instead of printing, choose "Save as PDF" as the destination.
  6. Click "Save" and choose a location in Google Drive to save the rotated PDF. You can overwrite the original or save it as a new file.

Essentially, you're using the print function as a PDF editor to rotate and re-save the file.
