LibreOffice is not a PDF editor--full stop. Once a PDF has been filter imported and its content parsed to document canvas, its content can be rotated, or reoriented. But that is a function of the Draw (or other module) canvas handling. It no longer has ANYTHING to do with the source PDF. Follow-on export from LO back to PDF will corrupt an original PDF if you overwrite it and think of LO as an editor. DON'T DO IT! Rotation / reorientation of a PDF page imported with the pdfium project libs is trivial--but is limited to single PDF page import handling as an image. All that said, an enhancement to module handling of PDF sourced images (pdfium-based import) or full canvas of PDF source Draw objects (poppler-based import) on canvas is probably feasible. @Miklos?
