Scans are bitmapped files. I would first run pdf2ps (part of the
Ghostscript suite of free programs) to get the file into ps form. Then
I would open it in Gimp (a free Photoshop replacement) rotate it and
then save it as ps. ps2pdf will put it back into pdf form if neeeded.

there are other possible routes, such as importing the pdf page into a
Context file with rotation, ImageMagick etc.
