Preview problems

After Updating to Big Sur Preview doesn't rotate properly pdf files. Pdf flips only in thumbnails. On main screen rotated only the frame of the file not the image on it. Do anyone faced the same problem and if yes some tips how to fix it ?

It works correctly for me. Try this:


Boot into Safe Mode by booting with the Shift key held down and check there to see if the problem persists.  Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
