Rotate PDF Guide

Develop your own solution to rotate a single page or multiple pages in a PDF file by integrating with iLovePDF’s REST API.

Remember that in order to use our Tool Guides, you need to have previous knowledge about the basics to processing a PDF with our REST API. We strongly recommend that you read the Processing a PDF guide before starting this one.

Basic rotate PDF

// Create a new task
$myTaskRotate = $ilovepdf->newTask('rotate');
// Add files to task for upload
$file1 = $myTaskRotate->addFile('path/to/file1_name.pdf');
$file2 = $myTaskRotate->addFile('path/to/file2_name.pdf');
$file1->setRotation(270);
$file2->setRotation(90);
// Execute the task
$myTaskRotate->execute();
// Download the package files
$myTaskRotate->download();

// Create a new task
var taskRotate = api.CreateTask<CompressTask>();
// Add files to task for upload
var file1 = taskRotate.AddFile("path/to/file/file1.pdf", rotate: Rotate._270);
var file1 = taskRotate.AddFile("path/to/file/file1.pdf", rotate: Rotate._90);
// Execute the task
taskRotate.Process();
// Download the package files
taskRotate.DownloadFile();

# Create a new task
my_task_rotate = ilovepdf.new_task :rotate
# Add files to task for upload
file1 = my_task_rotate.add_file 'path/to/file1_name.pdf'
file2 = my_task_rotate.add_file 'path/to/file2_name.pdf'
file1.rotate = 270
file2.rotate = 90
# Execute the task
my_task_rotate.execute
# Download the package files
my_task_rotate.download

const task = ilovepdf.newTask('rotate') as RotateTask;

task.start()
.then(() => {
    const file = new ILovePDFFile(
        'path/to/file2_name.pdf',
        {
            rotate: 90,
        }
    );
    return task.addFile(file);
})
.then(() => {
    return task.download();
})
.then((data) => {
    fs.writeFileSync('path/to/local/file_name.pdf', data);
});

As you can see, with rotate you can set the orientation value of your files. This function is useful for every tool and can be set using four different orientation values:

0
90
180
270
