Rotate PDFs on Android with a PDF reader app.
If you work with PDFs on your Android device often and need the full range of editing capabilities, upgrading to a dedicated PDF reader like Adobe Acrobat Pro will give you those options. It will let you rotate PDFs on your Android, plus give you access to every PDF editing feature right on your mobile device. To rotate a PDF on Android from a mobile app, follow these simple steps.
- Open the PDF in the Acrobat Reader app.
- Tap the Organize Pages tool on the left toolbar.
- Tap and hold on the pages you want to rotate.
- Choose either clockwise or counterclockwise at the bottom of the toolbar.
The PDF will rotate 90 degrees each time you rotate. If you want to flip the PDF a full 180 degrees, simply rotate it twice.

If you don’t want to download yet another app to your Android device, you can also rotate PDFs using a convenient web app like Adobe Acrobat online services.
