This is a toolbox to modify pdf files with a GUI (graphical user interface). Pdfjam looks quite similar to pdftk pdfsam

To be considered if pdftk is not available on your system. See QPDF manual #Syntax (you can rotate only some pages of the document - see the manual.

I have found another alternative which is equivalent: qpdf, easier to remember and more powerful The same command was: pdftk 08-file.pdf cat 1-endR output 08-file-rotated.pdfįrom another post on this site, I have a brief an explanation of the syntax pdftk input.pdf cat 1-endsouth output output.pdf Try : pdftk 08-file.pdf cat 1-endright output 08-file-rotated.pdfįor old version of pdftk (v<3) rotation was indicated only by one letter: So I would recommend pdftk (you may need to install it via apt-get install) Playing with options -compress -density -quality was always frustrating and a waste of time (but i am no expert). pdftk in.pdf cat 1-20 21S 22-end output out.pdf It seems there should be a way to rotate just one page without specifying the other pages, but I couldn't find it. The following command rotates page 21 of the document, in.pdf, and creates the document, out.pdf. I always had bad results in converting/altering pdf file with imagemagik/convert (bad resolution, or huge file). The pdftk man page explains how to rotate pages.
