FAQ

Why is the Flip button grayed out?

  1. Make sure the current file is a PDF that contains an image.
  2. Click the image itself so that it is selected and enters an editable state.
  3. If the button is still unavailable, check whether your account has permission to edit PDF content.

What is the difference between flipping and rotating?

  1. Flipping creates a mirror effect, either left to right or top to bottom.
  2. Rotating changes the angle around the center point, such as rotating by 90 degrees.
  3. Use flip when you need a mirrored result, and use rotation when you need to change the angle direction.

Can I undo a flip after applying it?

  1. Press Ctrl+Z to undo the most recent flip action.
  2. You can also select the image again and apply the same flip direction.
  3. After the image returns to the expected direction, continue editing or save the file.
