PDF rotate

POST /api/pdf-rotate

Rotate one or more pages of a PDF by 90, 180, or 270 degrees. The rest of the document is preserved verbatim.

Rotates the chosen pages of a PDF by 90, 180, or 270 degrees clockwise. Inputs: - `pages`: which pages to rotate. Accepts a comma-separated list (`1,3,5`), ranges (`2-7`), or `all` for every page. - `degrees`: `90`, `180`, or `270`. Pages not in the selection are preserved verbatim. The output is the rotated document — no re-rasterization, original quality kept.
