Rotate a PDF 90 degrees (Portrait to Landscape)
I have a PDF that I opened in Illustrator CS5 and it was Portrait. I tried to save it in Adobe Acrobat but when I opened it in Illustrator CS5, it was still in portrait mode.
I could not see a way to rotate this PDF 90 degrees. I am basically just trying to add some text to the form so I don't have to write the information. (When I open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, there are only about 3 fields I can complete and I have about 4 other fields to complete.)
How can I rotate this PDF 90 degrees?

What keys do I need to press to turn the PDF? Or what steps if it is in the menu?
In acrobat pro : Shift-Ctrl+R
or Menu Document->Rotate pages
or Menu Document->Rotate pages
You could always print to pdf from the print menu and rotate it then. Next time it is opened it will be correct.
You should not reprint a PDF, this is not a good idea for many reasons. It would naturally remove the form properties and also messes with the structure.
Follow leakim971's advice to use the menu option and save it

Printing a PDF doesn't remove the Form Properties. That is a fallacious statement.

Sorry I left out one of the words in my OP - one of the downsides to my illness, I cannot multi-task as much anymore.
I did try to save it in Adobe Acrobat in landscape but when I opened it in AI, it was still in portrait mode.
There are only two fields that I can "complete" in Acrobat, hence the reason I was trying to open it in AI. I can print the PDF to a PDF and then use AI to just add the fields, but I thought there might be a way to rotate the PDF in AI.
