        //Get the original rotation angle of the page
        int rotateAngle = page.getRotation().getValue();

        //Rotate the PDF page 90 degrees clockwise based on the original rotation angle
        rotateAngle += PdfPageRotateAngle.Rotate_Angle_90.getValue();
        page.setRotation((PdfPageRotateAngle.fromValue(rotateAngle)));

        //Save the PDF document
