pdfjam VS LibreOffice

Some time ago I had success with https://github.com/rrthomas/pdfjam for that purpose.

It used to be included in the standard Debian repositories but that no longer seems to be the case which might mean it is an unmaintained project that has build issues. Worth trying though, if it builds on a modern system.

There is pdjam which might be a part of what you are looking for.

If you have a standard package manager, look up pdfjam for pretty good CLI editing.

I use https://github.com/rrthomas/pdfjam/ for that since ages in case you're interested in alternatives.

First of all, if you need to write a lot of files in the doc format, there's a lovely office suite called libreoffice! Also, cups is a decent print utility for most printers, I'd check that out as well.

Try LibreOffice or OpenOffice .

Both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice are descendents of the original OpenOffice (what you're probably thinking about.)

LibreOffice is under very active development and can be downloaded from https://www.libreoffice.org/

Apache OpenOffice is effectively abandonware at this point, see https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Product_Release It's mostly been maintenance releases since 2013.

If you want LibreOffice with support (or just want to support development), you probably want Collabora.

If you need programs like office word excel and power point but offline try looking into Libre office
