I have scanned documents with some of the pages in the wrong orientation. When I select a page and attempt to rotate it, all pages in the file are then rotated? Is that a bug or a feature? If so what can I use to flip individual pages to the correct orientation?
Welcome to the forum!
I’m pretty sure that’s just not possible in Okular. You’ll need a pdf editor. I use PDF Mix Tool, but there will also be Karp soon.

i use PDF Arranger for that kind of task.

there’s a command line tool “qpdf” and it can do:
qpdf --rotate:180:2 input.pdf output.pdf
If page “2” was the one you wanted rotated 180 degrees. You can put a range of pages in the part after the “:” like the first one being three pages 2, 4, 5 and multiple --rotates can be done:
qpdf --rotate:180:2,4,5 --rotate:-90:1 input.pdf output.pdf
where + is clockwise and - is anti-clockwise. for the 0 and 180 case the +/- is meaningless so can be left off. the angles have to be one of 0,90,180,270

If you want to rotate the page for viewing, goto view, alignment, rotate left/right? I am not sure if you can save that state.
View>Orientation. Normally you can save it. But I doubt you can rotate a single page. As Skyfish mentioned, pdfarranger is easy in (gui) use.
When you rotate one page it rotates all. Not really what I was looking for.
Thanks. I liked this suggestion. Trying to get better on the command line stuff.
Just for folks’ reference here, there is an open feature request in the KDE Bugtracking System for this: 307224 – Ability to rotate single pages
This looks like something that will just require someone with the time, ability and interest to jump in and figure out how to implement
