It is also easy to rotate a PDF from CLI. Therefore install pdftk from the upper section.

→ Then use this command to rotate clockwise:

pdftk <inputfile-1> cat 1east end output <final-file>

→ To rotate anti-clockwise use this command:

pdftk <inputfile-1> cat 1west end output <final-file>

By replacing e.g. 1east with other cardinal directions, it is also possible to change a page for 180°.
