I am looking for a PDF editor that can:
- rotate
- add text
ideally this would be open source, but freeware is acceptable - i would prefer to avoid anything that requires Java - as I dont want to install Java

Are you looking for an application, or an SDK? You mention Java, but not sure if you just mean JRE or Java coding. – Ryan Jul 5 '18 at 18:59

LibreOffice can somehow import (and afterwards edit) PDFs. – DJCrashdummy Jul 6 '18 at 7:18

Xodo can do all this, and it is completely free (no ads, no in-app purchases)

There is support/uservoice page that contains documentation for each platform. feedback.xodo.com – Ryan Jul 5 '18 at 22:05

That definitely should not be happening. Can you create a new SO question, or submit ticket here: xodo.com/support.html. Please clearly indicate your browser+os, and your exact steps to reproduce. Note that there is a windows xodo native app available from the store, if you prefer something installed. – Ryan Jul 6 '18 at 19:27

no - im not gonna waste my time with it - i will just go back to my answer - shame though web app was pretty nice – Steven Penny Jul 6 '18 at 19:31
From another answer, I found the program PDF-XChange Viewer. It has a few drawbacks:
- Discontinued
- Freemium
but it appears to offer everything in the original request:
- Windows
- Rotate
- Add text
- No Java
