Pointless?? Really? We should have just stuck with postscript? I’m pretty happy with pdf for almost anything as there’s a good chance it’ll render how whoever sent it to me was seeing it. What would you suggest/do different?
This. I care about graphic design and aesthetics. So when I send a document to a group for review, I’m not taking the risk of giving them something they could mess with.
No sir or madame, I actually verified by hand before posting that exact comment because while I did recently use it to edit the contents of a pdf (increase contrast on hiking map for BW print), I haven’t that often and thus I wanted to find the rotate button myself to make sure I was giving legitimate advice :)
I actually thought I am part of this blessed generation that can use a computer. But rotating a PDF? That beats me.
Edit: In Okular it’s actually easy to find this function. I was never looking for this for my whole life.
PDF is a pointless file format that should not exist. Come at me.

It’s good for sending documents you don’t want to be tampered with because most people don’t know how to edit a PDF.

You can lock other file formats too though
Pdf will always look the same though. A doc/docx file can look wildly different depending on the editor you are using.
LibreOffice Draw should work just fine for that :)
Are you joking right now? I tried opening a pdf with Libre Draw recently but it didn’t work.
