For anyone on a Mac: all of these features in the screenshot are free with Preview. I assume OP is not, but something people should keep in mind.

Preview.app is very underrated. It feels like a huge omission that other platforms don't have something similar built in.

And if you need more editing features than Preview.app (which is already very powerful), PDF Expert [1] is my go-to on the App Store.

When has Reader allowing rotating pages? I don't think Reader has ever allowed saving or modifying PDFs in any way save for perhaps filling form fields...

What Adobe is doing, however, is to add icons and menu entries for editing functionality that will never work in Reader, advertising the features of their PDF editing software. That's, basically, yet another extremely intrusive advertising strategy that's annoying as hell and that I guess we are bound to see even more of it in the future.
