Slight aside...today I received a pdf that was 90 degrees from being correct on screen in Adobe reader, and I clicked on the 'rotate' button to find that Adobe has made this a subscription feature!

PDF on Windows is… sad. I've settled on Okular, for now. Yes, the KDE tool. They have a standalone Windows installer.

If you rotate your monitor, is that circumventing the DRM?

I printed it in the end, same result. Circumventing DRM

I left Adobe a long time ago and started using Foxit. It's not perfect, but gets the job done for considerably less money.

On Windows I run Adobe XI, mostly because I don’t like the look of Acrobat DC. And I guess bonus, you can rotate—sheesh!
