We have created thousands of PDF files that are printed as a label on a special label printer. Printing these labels is ok, but some of the label paper are quarter turned and the PDF are printed incorrectly. There is a possibility to rotate the page before printing. But is it possible to rotate a PDF file and save it again as a PDF file? And there are thousands of PDF files, is it also possible to do this is a batch program?

You mean rotating all the pages 90 degrees? – Mehper C. Palavuzlar May 28 '10 at 11:32

If you have Adobe Acrobat Professional, you can rotate all pages of a PDF document from Document > Pages > Rotate. In order to "batch rotate" the PDFs, go to Advanced > Batch Processing and create a new sequence.

If you want to rotate pages in a PDF file without downloading and installing anything, try DocDocGoose, an open source web app.
It processes the PDF file in your browser, so the file is never sent to a remote server.

I tend to use open source tools for that: either PDF Split and Merge, which is generally more robust: http://www.pdfsam.org or PDF architect, whic has a nicer, though less stable GUI: http://www.pdfforge.org
However, take care about all the tickboxes in installers - they tend to include various browser addons you probably do not need.
