Can I rotate just one image inside a PDF page?

Only with a PDF editor such as Acrobat Pro. Otherwise rebuild the page from a rotated image.

Why does my PDF page go back after reopening?

Rotate View in Acrobat Reader is temporary. Use Preview, Acrobat Pro or another editor to save the turn.

Can I convert PDF pages to images and rotate them?

Yes, with PDF to image on Utilorca, then rotate and rebuild with JPG to PDF. Text will no longer be selectable.

How to Rotate an Image or Page in a PDF

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): If you are making the PDF yourself, rotate the image above first, then turn it into a PDF with the JPG to PDF tool on Utilorca. To fix a page in an existing PDF on a Mac, open it in Preview, choose Tools › Rotate Left or Rotate Right and save. Adobe Acrobat Reader's Rotate View only changes the view and is not saved; saving rotated pages needs Acrobat Pro or another editor.
