we've all done it - fed a twenty page document through the scanner the wrong way and ended up with an upside down document on a fileshare.
Fixing the problem should be easy, but a number of pdf viewers out there (including Adobe's) don't let you save the rotated image, as you're supposed to use the edit addon. You could of course feed the document through the auto feeder the right way round this time, but when it's a bound document that's distinctly painful.
Very irritating.
Up to now, my solution has been to use either Preview on the Mac or gsview on linux.
But of course, one day, I found myself using windows and couldn't be bothered powering up a second machine just to deal with my stupidity.
That's when I happened across rotatepdf.eu, which basically does that for you. The site appears to be located in the Netherlands and looks reasonably legit. Certainly works well and works for me ...
