Rotating PDF was one of the features they added and this gathered a lot of positive feedback. No matter how simple it sounds, the absence of the option vastly downgraded the PDF-reading capabilities for Edge.
If you have wondered how to permanently rotate a PDF file in Microsoft Edge, well, it is not possible yet. You can rotate it, but it remains rotated only one time, you can’t save it to your PC like that.
Besides that, the responsible developers attached more than a few interesting improvements, with pen support for editing and adding notes.
To break it out for you, here are the basic options you can use in the Edge’s PDF viewer after the major update.
To Rotate a PDF, click on the document and click Rotate right or press CTRL+].
The Change Layout feature helps you to switch between the One Page and Two Page layouts. Click on the document and click Layout. 
Read Aloud is another new feature that let one of the 3 narrators read aloud the content of the document. You can choose between the 3 voices and regulate reading speed.
Share PDF is a great feature for fast and simple sharing of the document via Mail, Twitter, Skype, and others. Also, you can cast it to OneDrive or OneNote in one click. 
With the Add Notes options, you can use the physical pen on the touchscreen or add notes with your mouse. The choice is yours.
As you can see, now you can rotate PDF in Edge and much more in a rather seamless manner. In addition, we can expect lots of improvements from the future Edge iterations.
