Cannot find the "rotate" button in Adobe Reader Touch, Edge or any other viewer

Question

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to rotate downloaded PDF files in Adobe Reader Touch or Edge or any other viewer.  The default setting opens the downloaded PDF in Edge (with the directory directed to my c drive -> downloads).  When I right click, the only option I see is "save".

In Adobe Reader Touch when I right click I see save.  When I right click at the bottom of the document and the toolbar pops up I do not see a button for rotate, nor to I see a "more" button or a "..." button.

Please help as it is very frustrating to try to view documents scanned in as landscape that are downloaded as portrait documents.

Thanks in advance!!

Hello DanaPrz,

Thank you for contacting the Surface community. According to your post, you are unable to rotate your device  screen when using Adobe. Please follow the solutions posted in this link.

Kind regards,

@fatou8, his problem was NOT with the display rotation but the incorrect orientation (portrait vs landscape) being used by the App.  One possible fix is to "print" and save to pdf with a different printing orientation.  On some systems, this may result in an 180 deg rotation instead of the original 0 deg.  Use of print preview may help.

Did you ever solve this?

To rant for a minute... WTF? I'm running Windows 10. I try to open a PDF. Windows 10 opens it in Internet Explorer. Huh? Ok. But there's no way to rotate the view.

So then, apparently, Windows recommends I get Adobe Reader Touch. So clearly that's some BS Metro app they made for some dumbed down tablet-style UI because the iPad is eating their lunch. Fine. Whatever. I open the PDF in Adobe Reader Touch and... Same thing. No way to rotate the image on screen. Either it's not there or I can't figure out how to do it, either way, I can't use it.

So here you have Microsoft taking something that worked reasonably well, reworking (****) the whole UI for the OS, and along the way screwing up how one particular function which worked for years- now unusable/unavailable.

The OS itself is now full of apps BS apps and utilities. The control panel for networking? Now some simplistic app that doesn't have nearly the features. Sure, somewhere in my control panels is the original control panel- but the OS now has a full set of hobbled apps that are useless for actually managing anything.

Ugh. Enough.

I really don't think you read the question.  It's certainly not been answered!
