screenshot, probably from Ex-Twitter but I saw it on NOSTR, showing a guy saying that training a zoomer to use a PC at work is as difficult as training a boomer, with a reply indicating that there is only one generation that can rotate a PDF and that knowledge dies with us

Is there a ghostscript way to rotate pdf?

I've stopped talking to Zoomers about tech completely. If I try to help, I end up confusing them more, and I don't like to simply solve shit for them because then they start bugging me for every single thing. (I'm also technically a Zoomer, but barely.)

I'm not a kid (see my other replies in this thread lol), but I've never had to use PDFs for much at all. The closest I've ever been to editing one is clicking a box to draw a signature or check a checkbox.

So I've gotta ask. Why would one need to rotate a PDF? They would be made on a computer, and naturally default to the correct orientation, no? I can't imagine why one would ever be sideways.

You can scan a document to PDF, sometimes the default orientation isn't correct.
