Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data safe from AI scrapers and cloud training models?
Absolutely. In the era of AI, many online tools upload your files to cloud servers, where they risk being scraped, indexed, or used to train machine learning models. CedarPDF is different: we process everything 100% locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device, ensuring complete zero-knowledge privacy.
How do I know you aren't uploading my files?
You can verify this yourself! Open your browser's Developer Tools (F12) and go to the 'Network' tab while using CedarPDF. You will see zero POST requests or file uploads. All processing happens locally in your browser's JavaScript engine.
Can I rotate all pages at once?
Yes! Use the "Select All" button to mark every page, then click the ↺ or ↻ button in the top bar. This is perfect for fixing entire documents scanned in the wrong orientation.
How do I rotate a single page?
Simply click the ↺ (counter-clockwise) or ↻ (clockwise) icon on the thumbnail's corner. The rotation applies instantly and you can click again to rotate further.
Can I undo a rotation?
Yes! Before outputting, click the opposite rotation button to reverse. Or click "Adjust Rotation" to return to thumbnails and modify any page. Changes are only permanent after downloading.
Does rotating affect text searchability?
No. Rotation only changes the page's display orientation metadata. All text, images, links, and form fields remain fully functional and searchable in the rotated PDF.
Why can't some PDFs be rotated or edited?
CedarPDF supports standard PDFs, but some files may have restrictions:
  • 🔒 Encrypted/Password Protected: Files with owner passwords or editing restrictions cannot be modified without the password.
  • ⚠️ Corrupted or Malformed: PDFs with broken internal structures (e.g., from faulty exports) may fail compatibility checks.
  • ⚙️ Special Formats: Some enterprise/internal PDFs use proprietary extensions, linearized streaming, or non-standard compression that our frontend-only engine cannot safely rewrite.

💡 Tip: If your file is locked or has a non-standard structure, please use our Unlock PDF tool first to remove restrictions before rotating pages.
