Goomers and hoomers and foomers and schroomers are all alike and your generation is smarter.

The only reason we have to rotate the PDFs is because they can't figure out how to use the sheet-feed scanner. Theres a picture embossed in the thing! And a sign that we put next to the button!

Is this some Acrobat functionality or something?

Off the top of my head, there's pdfjam, pdftk and imagemagick (don't forget the --dpi switch) who could probably do that, after reading the man pages. Or ghostscript' gs, if you want to go in-depth.

But generally, just rotate the source material you've got the pdf from. That's how it is intended.

Just helped build my 12 year old cousin his first computer and was forced into putting Windows on it. Now, I get that it's important that he at least understand what the "normal OS" is, but I did want to put at least Mint or something on there. Zoomers and Alpha really don't know how to navigate even the basics, though, and this kid was no exception.

Well, technically I wanted to put something based on Arch but even I know that's a bad idea for a sink or swim computer moment.

What do you consider "the basics"? I regards to getting a 12 yr old started on Linux

Yeah, schools do not have tech literacy classes and it's devastating, this is why
