Rotate a PDF

To permanently change the orientation of a PDF, go to Document-->Pages-->Rotate (or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+R). This will rotate the PDF so it stays rotated for the next person who opens it. Don't be fooled by the little "Rotate" buttons on the toolbar -- they only rotate the view temporarily, and won't save the orientation. Most of the PDFs I make from CAD come out with the wrong orientation, so I use this all the time. (Okay, it's not a CAD tip exactly, but it's still useful!)
