Rotate a PDF Page Using VB.NET

Output a New PDF File

Copy this demo code to your VB.NET application to rotate the first page of your PDF file to 180 degree in clockwise. And this demo will create a new PDF file.

Dim inputFilePath As String = Program.RootPath + "\\" + "1.pdf"
Dim outputFilePath As String = Program.RootPath + "\\" + "Output.pdf"

' Specify the first page to be rotated.
Dim pageIndex As Integer = 0

' Rotate 180 in clockwise.
Dim rotateInDegree As Integer = 180

' Rotate the selected page.
PDFDocument.RotatePage(inputFilePath, pageIndex, rotateInDegree, outputFilePath)

Overwrite the Original PDF File

You may also rotate a page of your PDF file to 270 degree in clockwise. It's equal to rotate PDF page to 90 degree in anticlockwise. In addition, this demo will overwrite the original PDF file.

Dim inputFilePath As String = Program.RootPath + "\\" + "1.pdf"

' Specify a page to be rotated.
Dim pageIndex As Integer = 0

' Rotate 270 in clockwise.
Dim rotateInDegree As Integer = 270

' Rotate the selected page.
PDFDocument.RotatePage(inputFilePath, pageIndex, rotateInDegree)

Rotate All PDF Pages Using VB.NET

Output a New PDF File

This VB.NET code is used for rotating all PDF pages to 180 in clockwise and output a new PDF file.

Dim inputFilePath As String = Program.RootPath + "\\" + "1.pdf"
Dim outputFilePath As String = Program.RootPath + "\\" + "Output.pdf"

' Rotate 180 in clockwise.
Dim rotateInDegree As Integer = 180

' Rotate all PDF pages.
PDFDocument.RotateAllPages(inputFilePath, rotateInDegree, outputFilePath)

Overwrite the Original PDF File

This one is for rotating all PDF pages to 90 in clockwise and overwrite the original PDF file.

Dim inputFilePath As String = Program.RootPath + "\\" + "1.pdf"

' Rotate 90 in clockwise.
Dim rotateInDegree As Integer = 180

' Rotate all PDF pages.
PDFDocument.RotateAllPages(inputFilePath, rotateInDegree)
