Navigate to the Products section and select the Acrobat product deployment you manage.
Go to Policies or Settings for Acrobat and locate the configuration options for PDF export or save behaviors.
NoteAdobe does not provide a direct page orientation enforcement policy in the Admin Console; you must use deployment tools or custom scripts to enforce orientation.
If using Windows, create or update an Acrobat Customization Wizard package to include a preflight profile or action that checks and corrects page orientation on save/export.
Best practiceYou can use the Customization Wizard to deploy a preflight profile that enforces landscape or portrait orientation for all pages before saving.
Deploy the customized Acrobat package or preflight profile to all user machines using your organization’s software deployment tool (such as SCCM, Intune, or JAMF).
Instruct users to use the provided preflight profile or automated action when saving or exporting PDFs to ensure compliance with the orientation policy.
Best practiceAccording to best-practice blogs, combining preflight profiles with automation (like Action Wizard) minimizes user error and enforces consistent orientation.
Admins can deploy a preflight profile or automated Action in Acrobat to ensure all saved/exported PDFs meet your required page orientation.
This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.

Scanned documents often appear sideways because of how they were placed on the scanner. If the paper was not perfectly straight or was fed in at an angle, the scanner captures it that way. You can fix this easily in Acrobat using the 'Organize Pages' tool to turn them correctly.
Yes, you can rotate specific pages. In 'Organize Pages', you will see small pictures of all your pages. You can click on just the pages you want to change. Then, use the rotate tool. Only the selected pages will turn. This is useful for large documents where only a few pages need adjustment.
The 'Rotate Pages' feature in Adobe Acrobat lets you change the direction that pages face in your PDF document. You can turn pages 90 degrees at a time to make them upright, sideways, or upside down. It's used to correct pages that are not oriented correctly.
