UPDATE: THIS WORKS!!!
I've decided to download and run the older 'Legacy' version, side by side with the new Evernote. Copy and paste this link: https://help.evernote.com/hc/articles/360052560314
It's very easy and quick to do. You can rotate/delete etc within Evernote Legacy app but still use the new version. The old version is shown with a Grey logo and the new is Green.
Hope this helps 😁
As promised, the latest email from Evernote shown below.

Hello again Chris,
Thank you for getting back to us.
My sincerest apologies for the inconvenience you are having. Please know that we are currently looking into this as this is not the type of experience that we want for our users.
To open PDF files using Preview, you must download it first out of the Evernote app then you will be able to rotate it, then save it to Evernote, but there is no problem for annotations since there are multiple ways on how you can annotate your PDF file.
I know how this will affect your productivity on Evernote, but this is one of a handful of features we are still considering since rotate only works on images. Thanks for letting us know this feature is important to you.
I noticed that you'd like to use the older version of Evernote. While we encourage everyone to give the new Evernote app a try, we recognize that there are some scenarios where using an older version is necessary or desired. You can run this side by side with the new Evernote.
You can download the Evernote Legacy app by following the instructions in this Help & Learning article: Install an older version of Evernote.
If you run into any trouble, I'd be happy to help troubleshoot with you so you can get back to being productive with Evernote.
If you have any further concerns, feel free to email us here again and we will gladly help.
Best Regards,
Kirby D.
