  • pdfarranger

    Small python-gtk application, which helps the user to merge or split PDF documents and rotate, crop and rearrange their pages using an interactive and intuitive graphical interface.

    On Linux I like to use:

    https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger and https://gitlab.com/scarpetta/pdfmixtool for such tasks.

  • naps2

    Scan documents to PDF and more, as simply as possible.

    If you want to add page, remove page, split, merge, reorder, re-orient all or individual pages, ... May I recommend the glorious NAPS2 [1] ?

    It's meant as a scanning tool but works just fine without scanning just drag and drop a pdf on it.

    It doesn't do in-page editing or annotation, it's "one layer above" that.

  • pdfjam

    The pdfjam package for manipulating PDF files

    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.

  • pdfsam

    PDFsam, a desktop application to split, merge, mix, rotate PDF files and extract pages

    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

  • unionpdf

    A universal pdf rendering/editing library

    For anyone want to build a tool like this, you can try my WIP library here, it's based on Pdfium and Wasm, you can build a tool support editing and previewing with it.
