      Hi,
      I'll quote part of the description from MDL-47051:

      To help the grading process, we would like to request a 'rotate' button that could help solve the problem of students submitting homework in landscape mode, or upside down.

      This issue was closed as a duplicate of MDL-43462.
      Unfortunately, this was not a duplicate, because MDL-43462 dealt about PDFs to be cut off and we cannot reopen MDL-47051 again. So I'll open this issue.

      This is about adding a possibility to rotate the generated PDF within the editor.
      This is useful, especially if users do their solutions handwritten, take a photo (smartphone in landscape orientation) of this and upload the jpg. This has two effects:

      • The jpg is reduced in size to fit to the plain PDF background which orientation is in portrait
      • And it is placed in it's landscape mode

      Without the possibility to rotate this representation, it's hard to read and correct the uploaded solution!

      Best, Kathrin
