    PrivatePDF is a free web tool that lets you make quick PDF edits from within your web browser, without uploading anything anywhere.

  • In case you are looking for a simple entirely in-browser PDF editor, I just released PrivatePDF - https://github.com/photown/private-pdf

    It supports basic operations such as filling forms, inserting text, images, etc.

    You can test it out with a sample PDF here - https://photown.github.io/private-pdf/?pdf=https://raw.githu...

  • Briss-2.0

    Briss 2.0 is intended to be a GUI Update for the Briss PDF cropping tool.

  • I use Briss for this: https://github.com/mbaeuerle/Briss-2.0

    It overlays all the pages on top of each other, you the human draws rectangles around the overlaying columns, and then it processes them into pages.
