Frequently Asked Questions

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.
Is my file uploaded to your server?
No. CedarPDF uses advanced browser technology to process your PDF locally on your device. Your file never leaves your computer or phone.
Why can't some PDFs be 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 shows as "preview only", you can still view thumbnails. For editing, try opening it in Adobe Acrobat or a PDF editor and "Save As" a standard PDF first.
