Rotate a Specific Page in PDF in Java
Rotation is based on 90-degree increments. You can rotate a PDF page by 0/90/180/270 degrees. The following are the steps to rotate a PDF page:
- Create an instance of PdfDocument class.
- Load a PDF document using PdfDocument.loadFromFile() method.
- Get the desired page by its index (zero-based) using PdfDocument.getPages().get(pageIndex) method.
- Get the original rotation angle of the page using PdfPageBase.getRotation().getValue() method.
- Increase the original rotation angle by desired degrees.
- Apply the new rotation angle to the page using PdfPageBase.setRotation() method.
- Save the result document using PdfDocument.saveToFile() method.
- Java
import com.spire.pdf.PdfDocument;
import com.spire.pdf.PdfPageBase;
import com.spire.pdf.PdfPageRotateAngle;
public class RotatePdfPage {
public static void main(String []args){
//Create a PdfDocument instance
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
//Load a PDF document
pdf.loadFromFile("Sample.pdf");
//Get the first page
PdfPageBase page = pdf.getPages().get(0);
//Get the original rotation angle of the page
int rotation = page.getRotation().getValue();
//Rotate the page 180 degrees clockwise based on the original rotation angle
rotation += PdfPageRotateAngle.Rotate_Angle_180.getValue();
page.setRotation(PdfPageRotateAngle.fromValue(rotation));
//Save the result document
pdf.saveToFile("Rotate.pdf");
}
}
Rotate All Pages in PDF in Java
The following are the steps to rotate all pages in a PDF document:
- Create an instance of PdfDocument class.
- Load a PDF document using PdfDocument.loadFromFile() method.
- Loop through the pages in the document.
- Get the original rotation angle of each page using PdfPageBase.getRotation().getValue() method.
- Increase the original rotation angle by desired degrees.
- Apply the new rotation angle to the page using PdfPageBase.setRotation() method.
- Save the result document using PdfDocument.saveToFile() method.
- Java
import com.spire.pdf.PdfDocument;
import com.spire.pdf.PdfPageBase;
import com.spire.pdf.PdfPageRotateAngle;
public class RotateAllPdfPages {
public static void main(String []args){
//Create a PdfDocument instance
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
//Load a PDF document
pdf.loadFromFile("Sample.pdf");
//Loop through each page in the document
for(PdfPageBase page :(Iterable) pdf.getPages()) {
//Get the original rotation angle of the page
int rotation = page.getRotation().getValue();
//Rotate the page 180 degrees clockwise based on the original rotation angle
rotation += PdfPageRotateAngle.Rotate_Angle_180.getValue();
page.setRotation(PdfPageRotateAngle.fromValue(rotation));
}
//Save the result document
pdf.saveToFile("RotateAll.pdf");

SVG, short for scalable vector graphics, is a vector image format based on XML for two-dimensional graphics. Vector image files, like SVG and PDF files, are very similar. They can display text, images, and other elements in the same appearance and keep the definition no matter how you zoom them. And because of their similarity, PDF files can be converted to SVG files almost losslessly. This article shows an easy method to convert PDF files to SVG files using Spire.PDF for Java.

PDF file format makes the presentation of documents consistent across devices. However, when you need to put PDF documents on web pages, it's better to convert them to HTML files. In this way, all the content of your document can be displayed in the browser directly, with no need for downloading files. And the loading of large PDF documents takes a long time, while HTML files can be rendered in the browser very quickly. In addition, compared to PDF files, it is much easier for search engines to crawl HTML web pages to get information, which will give your website more exposure. This article will show how to convert PDF documents into HTML files in Java using Spire.PDF for Java.

Nowadays, it is not difficult to convert PDF documents into Word files using a software. However, if you want to maintain the layout and even the font formatting while converting, it is not something that every software can accomplish. Spire.PDF for Java does it well and offers you the following two modes when converting PDF to Word in Java.
Fixed Layout mode has fast conversion speed and is conducive to maintaining the original appearance of PDF files to the greatest extent. However, the editability of the resulting document will be limited since each line of text in PDF will be presented in a separate frame in the generated Word document.
Flowable Structure is a full recognition mode. The converted content will not be presented in frames, and the structure of the resulting document is flowable. The generated Word document is easy to re-edit but may look different from the original PDF file.
