Add ability to rotate pages in PDF view |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Issue descriptionFeature Request: Some PDF documents have a mix of pages in portrait and landscape, but the individual pages are not marked with their correct orientation. (For an example, download an Explanation of Benefits document from an Anthem BlueCross insurance site.) Chrome PDF viewer shows all of the pages in portrait. It would be nice to enable the user to rotate the pages that should be displayed in landscape mode, in order to make the document easy to read on screen.

You can rotate all the pages at once. The keyboard shortcuts are ctrl + [ and ctrl + ]. There's bug 715572 which discusses individual page rotation.

@hnakashima: I don't have a link to a public document like this. The documents I'm viewing are full of PII and behind a private login. @thestig: Good to know that you can rotate all pages. Thanks! Discoverability of that is really, really low. (The icon looks like a refresh button and doesn't have a symmetric companion for the opposite rotation--which is the one I'd need, so I never even considered it. And I've no idea how to discover keyboard shortcuts.) Still, rotating all of the pages is nearly as awkward as rotating none of them. The documents I'm dealing with generally have 7 pages, and it's the middle 4 that need to be turned.

Thanks for the feedback on the UI. We'll take your comments into consideration if we ever redesign it. Discoveability of keyboard shortcuts is indeed low. That's bug 583152. The rotate button does look a bit like a refresh button, but if you hover or it, there is a tooltip to explain what it actually does. |
