I have a pdf file1.  I am using cb1.addTemplate to rotate each page by 90 degree clockwise

        Correct.  Using PdfReader & PdfStamper will toss annots, etc.

I like PdfCopy. But, I can not rotate each page.    I need a rotate function while I can copy all the information from file1 into file2.

        Easy enough to add yourself by just using the low level iText APIs to add the appropriate /Rotate key to the /Page dictionary.

        HOWEVER, you should probably be smart about this and actually read any current value, do the math to adjust from that point and then put the new value instead of just blasting a specific value.
