One page in my PDF came out sideways and I need to fix just that page before submitting it. Everything I try rotates the whole document - how do I rotate only a single page?

Open the thumbnail pane, click only the sideways page, then use Rotate and save a copy. In Mac Preview, make sure just that one thumbnail is highlighted before rotating. If the whole PDF turns, that app is probably rotating the view only, so fix the page in the original document and export the PDF again. I learned to reopen the saved copy and check it before submitting.

Classic, every viewer happily rotates the whole file for you. If you’re on a Mac, open it in Preview, click that page in the sidebar, then Tools then Rotate, and it turns just that one. Windows is more anoying, so what device are you on?

PDFcap is the easiest way I know for this: open the file, select the sideways page in the page thumbnails, then choose Rotate Left or Rotate Right and save a new copy. It should change only the selected page, not the rest. Before submitting, reopen the saved copy and check that the page looks right.
