Apply rotation to specified pages. The
<option>page-range</option> portion of the option value has
the same format as page ranges in <xref
- linkend="ref.page-selection"/>. The <option>angle</option>
- portion of the parameter may be either 90, 180, or 270. If
- preceded by <option>+</option> or <option>-</option>, the
- angle is added to or subtracted from the specified pages'
- original rotations. Otherwise the pages' rotations are set to
- the exact value. For example, the command <command>qpdf in.pdf
- out.pdf --rotate=+90:2,4,6 --rotate=180:7-8</command> would
- rotate pages 2, 4, and 6 90 degrees clockwise from their
- original rotation and force the rotation of pages 7 through 9
- to 180 degrees regardless of their original rotation.
