pdfsam VS sumatrapdf

I find pdfsam to be the perfect offline tool for me on Windows.

https://pdfsam.org

And it's open source as well: https://github.com/torakiki/pdfsam

PDFsam - merge, split, extract pages, rotate and mix your PDF files

PDF Sam is open source and can handle that https://pdfsam.org/

The free and open-source version of PDFsam supports merging files into a single PDF (and several other actions). It looks like PDFsam Enhanced supports insertings watermarks, comments, etc. depending on the plan.

https://github.com/torakiki/pdfsam Helped me out along the way. I just used that for any combining, splitting, etc. operations I needed. Then signed them with Acrobat (shit).

I'd like to add this tool to the list: https://pdfsam.org/

PDFsam then? But if your program is working you probably don’t need it anymore.

Do you mind reporting those issues either to SumatraPDF at https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues or directly to MuPDF at https://bugs.ghostscript.com/ if it also has the same issue? Thank you!

There are many wonderfully weird PDFs and epubs out there, but we do our best to fix issues. :)

The big update of SumatraPDF is out yesterday [1]. There are a lot of bugs fix and improvement in the backlog [2].

You mean "ability to drag out a tab to open it in new window"?

If so, you can do in latest update [1]

FWIW, https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/1249 ("Support form filling for at least 1040 irs form") has a comment saying "MuPDF-GL has the capability to edit fields and save the PDF" of a 1040.

I have just learned the Firefox 93 added support XFA - https://techdows.com/2021/10/open-xfa-pdfs-in-firefox.html .

So it would appear there are free software solutions to XFA forms.

Just because something doesn't seem far-fetched to you, doesn't mean most people will regard it as far-fetched.

Many people all sorts of "sectarian objections" - far more than there are SovCits or other tax protesters. Stallman has never come across as a tax protester. Ergo, I think it's far-fetched that "sectarian objections" is strongly associated with tax protests.

Further, at https://stallman.org/archives/2017-may-aug.html we can read Stallman opinine that we need to "return to the "bad old days", when Americans in general could have a decent life, not penury; when the US could afford to build what the public needed instead of privatizing everything with a toll" by making taxation more progressive. At https://stallman.org/archives/2011-jan-apr.html we read he supports "The Fairness in Taxation Act [which] would raise taxes to 45% on incomes over a million dollars a year."

If you are going to run something in wine, try sumatrapdf. It's FOSS but Windows only. (sadly, but runs great on wine)

Sumatra PDF has always been my choice: minimal, lightweight, no bloat... just perfect!

For PDFs you should try this bad boy https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf
