You can use it change PDF orientation only for reading. The moment you quit Adobe Reader, then you'll find the changes haven't been saved. The following info is about how to use Wondershare PDFelement to change PDF orientation from Landscape to Portrait, the normal one we use usually.

In the following, we take how to use Wondershare PDFelement (Windows) as an example to show you the steps to convert PDF from Landscape to Portrait.
Launch Wondershare PDFelement and open the PDF file that you're going to change orientation. You can go just click on the "Open..." button in the main interface.
You can also go to the "File" tab and click on "Open" option there. Or you can click on the open shortcut icon.

In daily life and work, PDF eBooks, manuals for software and hardware, projects or anything else that is clearly intended to be viewed mainly on screen, which is mostly in vertical orientation. Only in this way, users are able to see the whole content on the screen without zooming in the PDF.
And PDF documents are mainly generated from Word documents or files from InDesign, which are in the portrait orientation. Last, it has become people's habit to read files in portrait orientation instead of in landscape orientation. I bet even you are not willing to read scrapes of papers in landscape orientation, because this orientation might bring you visual pressure.
