Tweak PDF lets you set the initial view preferences of a PDF document, such as whether to center window of the PDF file when opened, whether to display document title, to fit window, to hide menu bar, to hide toolbar, and to hide window UI. You can also set the page mode of a PDF document, such as show PDF files in full screen mode, outlines mode, thumbnail mode, or simply without any special mode. In addition, PDF document properties such as title, subject, author, keywords etc. can be modified.
Note: The latest version is no longer freeware - now includes a 500k file limit. As such, I have made the last free version (v1.33) available for direct download.

BGM: I don't know of a program that will do that. My best guess is a combination of 3 programs: export it to a high-quality PNG using PDF-XChange, rotate it using PhotoScape, and then convert back to PDF using LibreOffice. Please post in forums if you find another method.
v1.52
I need a program that will rotate a pdf by 4 degrees counterclockwise. I just discovered I can't do this in Acrobat!
v1.52
Not Freeware. After a trial period it will not work on PDF files greater than 2MB without registration
not a freeware
The version of TweakPDF is now 1.53 and it does cover PDF versions from 1.0 through to 1.7 - I was able to use TweakPDF to tweak a PDF file down to a earlier version and was able to open that PDF on an earlier copy of Acrobat Reader, running on an older computer. So in that sense, I found this utility to be useful.
Depends on GDIPLUS.DLL - Website also has a "Buy Online" button with a "$79 to get full version" tag. I haven't run this program long enough to find if there are any 'gotchas' but hope to discover if this is a keeper or not, soon.
This supports only PDF versions 1.0 - 1.5. Every PDF I tried it with was version 1.6, so this tool was useless.
The last freeware version, 1.33, is still on Archive.org
