Permanent PDF Dictionary Rotation vs Temporary View Rotation
Clicking "Rotate" in standard PDF viewers only alters the temporary display angle for your current session; when sent to clients or printed, the pages revert to their original orientation. PDFCore Studio modifies the underlying /Rotate entry within each target page dictionary, ensuring the orientation is permanently locked across all devices and printers.
| Feature Dimension | Temporary Viewer Rotation | Permanent PDFCore Dictionary Rotation |
|---|---|---|
| Persistence | Reverts back upon closing viewer or emailing to clients | Permanently saved in the PDF specification dictionary |
| Printer Output | May print sideways depending on printer driver interpretation | Prints correctly in the intended orientation on all hardware |
