As a work around take a screen shot and rotate it as a .png or .bmp image.

Just use an old version of acrobat professional. I use Acrobat 9.0 Professional on all my machines. Works perfectly on 7/8/10/10pro/11.

Yes, that is a option that would work. Here's the expense for Acrobat Reader DC @ $16.99/month by annual subscription.

Does that require a P2P file sharing download of cracked software?
Linux. I stopped paying Gates over 20years ago.

If it was maybe $4 a month I would eat that but USD $16.99/mo is raping and pillaging.

You can also use Libre Office. Libre Office Draw is pretty amazing- it can import and export just about anything. Only downside is it takes several seconds to import a large service manual PDF, but once loaded, you can do anything, just like Acrobat Pro.
Here's the rotate option on a schematic out of a 8.5MB S/M:
I have Libre office installed as well as MS Office and am slowly transitioning off the MS teat. It can do a bunch of useful stuff, especially with PDFs that MS Office cannot do (easily)

Libre Office or OpenOffice.
Are you using Acrobat Reader DC? Or Acrobat Pro? The former should still be able to rotate the view without paying anything.

I am using Acrobat Reader DC.
If you just need to do a few pages then Gimp can open, edit individual pages as layers, and then re-save pdf files.
In the past I have needed to do some batch editing of pdfs and found this program pretty handy. (I think it was fully free back then but it looks like they still have a basic free version):

I got it at the same time as your recommendation, I always keep GIMP loaded for weird file extensions and thought... Hmmz GIMP! and voila...If you just need to do a few pages then Gimp can open, edit individual pages as layers, and then re-save pdf files.

Have you seen this? :
community.adobe.com
Are you trying rotate the page or just the view of the page?
(the ctrl+shift +or- which has worked forever)
Rotate PDF now requires a subscription?!?!
So we can't even rotate a PDF anymore without a paid subscription? Absoloutely rediculious. This has been a core basic function of Reader for years, why was it removed? Is there a way to rotate it another way?

I used to use Codeweavers Crossover office to do document/presentation work on Linux (basically msoft office on Linux) but ever since I use LibreOffice, I could basically do the essential work like word/powerpoint/excel on Linux. There are some formatting issues that I encountered when viewed in Microsoft Office but to me it's minor and easily fixed. On the topic of Adobe, I use Acrobat Reader v9 on Linux.
